“…However, improved performance of poultry depends on dietary composition and type of supplemented enzyme (Attia, 2003;Abudabos, 2012;Nourmohammadi et al, 2012). The use of an enzyme complex containing carbohydrases and phytase should improve the ability of broilers, laying hens, ducks and Japanese quail to use the energy, protein, P and Ca they obtain from the diet (Attia, 2003;Attia et al, 2003aAttia et al, , 2003bAttia et al, , 2008Cowieson et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2010) and a small amount of these nutrients can be added to the diet. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of phytase with or without multienzyme supplementation on performance and nutrient digestibility of young broiler chicks fed mash or crumble diets.…”
