Complexo enzimático à base de xilanase, β-glucanase e fitase em rações para poedeiras comerciais leves em pico de produção

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the supplementation of an enzymatic complex based on xylanase, β-glucanase and phytase in light commercial egg laying feeds at peak egg production,performance and egg classification. A total of 288 laying hens of the Hy-Line W36 breed were used in a completely randomized design in split plot with four treatments and six replicates of 12 layer each in four periods of 21 days each. The experimental rations were formulated based on corn and soybean meal, consisting of four types of ration: CP ration - positive control (100% recommended metabolizable energy without enzymes), CN ration - negative control, reductions in 75 kcal of metabolizable energy, 0.12 percentual points (pp) of Ca and P available, CN Ration + 60 g/t Enzyme Complex and CN Ration + 100 g/t Enzyme Complex. The enzyme complex was composed by: xylanase = 12,000 u/g; beta-glucanase = 2500 u/g and phytase = 5000 u/g. The variables evaluated were: average egg production (egg%/layerday), mean egg weight (g), mean feed intake (g/layer/day), feed conversion per egg mass, and classification according to weight. There was no interaction between the treatments and the evaluation periods (P> 0.05). It is possible to observe that the egg production was influenced by the nutritional reductions of the rations and the inclusion of 100 g/t of the enzymatic complex made it possible to recover the egg production rate, matching the layers of the positive control treatment (P<0.01). Feed intake was higher (P<0.05) for birds receiving 100 g/t enzyme complex compared to hens fed with ration without addition of enzyme complex (negative control). The weight of the eggs responded (P<0.01) to the nutritional reductions of the rations, being lighter in the negative control treatment, but with recovery when adding 100 g/t enzyme complex. The feed conversion was worse (P<0.05) for laying hens fed the feed with 60 g/t of the enzymatic complex tested, mainly due to the lower egg production observed in this treatment. The use of 100 g/t of the xylanase, beta-glucanase and phytase-based enzyme complex for feed formulations with nutrient reductions at 75 kcal ME/kg, 0.12 pp Ca and 0.12 pp P is recommended for laying hens Egg production in order to maximize performance and improve the classification of eggs produced.
