Abstract
The actual conversion of feeds, especially fibrous forages, to meat and milk is
not very efficient. Enzymes are used to improve the nutritive value of high fibrous
feeds that leads to improved nutrient availability with positive effects on production
performance in ruminants relevant to Indian dairy animal feeding conditions.
Considering the above facts, the present study was conducted in three phases to assess
the impact of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) supplementation on feed intake,
rumen fermentation, digestibility of nutrients, milk yield and feed conversion
efficiency
