Abstract
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of multi-enzyme supplementation on
post-weaning performance of crossbred pigs (3-8 months). In this trial, 75% crossbred (Large
White Yorkshire x Desi) pigs were fed with diets supplemented with NSPs degrading enzymes
at various levels viz., 0 (T1), 500 (T2) and 1000 (T3) g/ton of feed. The pigs in T3 had
significantly (P<0.05) higher 240-day body weight and average daily weight gain over the
control. The feed intake was increased with the proportion of increase in level of enzyme
addition. Feed efficiency was observed better 7.90 and 5.39 % respectively in pigs fed diets
supplemented with 500 and 1000 g enzyme/ton of feed than control. The feed cost per kg
weight gain was lower in enzyme supplemented groups than control. The decrese was 9.03
and 4.62 per cent in T2 and T3 compared to control. The supplementation of NSPs degrading
enzyme @ 500 g/ton of feed was found effective in terms of improving weight gain, feed
efficiency and feed cost per kg weight gain.
