A method of growing poultry, comprising the steps of:
- a. feeding said poultry with a first multi-enzyme mixture together with a starter diet during the period when said starter diet is fed to said poultry;
- b. feeding said poultry with a second multi-enzyme mixture together with a grower diet during the period when said grower diet is fed to said poultry;
- and
- c. feeding said poultry with a third multi-enzyme mixture together with a finisher diet during the period when said finisher diet is fed to said poultry.
The method of any of the preceding claims, wherein the poultry is a meat-type poultry.
An animal feed supplement comprising a mixture of enzymes having enzyme activities selected from the group including glucanase, xylanase, cellulase, protease, and phytase activities.
The feed supplement of claim 19 or claim 20, wherein the feed supplement comprises at least one further enzyme.
An animal feed supplement comprising a mixture of enzymes having enzyme activities selected from the group including glucanase, xylanase, cellulose, and phytase activities.
