Abstract
The study was designed to exploit the advantages in solid state fermentation (SSF) and the use of fibrolytic enzymes for proper degradation of the high crude fibre content of palm kernel meal (PKM). Complete r andomized design was used in these studies. The research studies were carried out at the Teaching & Research Farm of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti,Nigeria.Two sets of 336 broiler chicks were used in 2 independent phases (broiler starter and finisher phases) of the studies. Ensiled PKM (ePKM) and ensiled plus Roxazyme G2 (cellulase, glucanase and xylanase) fortified PKM (ePKMf) were used to replace significant quantities of energy and protein ingredients at 10%, 20% and 30% inclusion levels in broiler starter diets and 30%, 40% and 50% inclusion levels in broiler finisher diets. Growth performance parameters were generally similar (
