Introduction
Diets for poultry species are expected to promote the rapid
growth of healthy animals by providing highly digestible
nutrients, which allow a good feed conversion ratio. Many
plant ingredients for poultry diets, e.g. cereals, legumes or
oilseed meals, contain compounds such as tannins, trypsin
inhibitors or non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), which may
have negative effects on the birds’ performance (BEDFORD
and SCHULZE, 1998). The use of wheat or rye in commercial
poultry diets has been limited by their high levels of soluble cell wall NSP, especially pentosans and β-glucanes
(CARRÉ and BRILLOUET, 1986; ANTONIOU et al., 1981; CHOCT
and ANNISON, 1992). The presence of NSP may lead to increased digesta viscosity, slower digesta passage, restriction in digestion, and a decrease in the performance of
poultry (JEROCH et al., 1995). NSP hydrolysing enzymes
have been shown to cause a partial depolymerization of
non-starch polysaccharides, which reduced their anti-nutritive effects and improved the metabolisable energy (ME)
value of the poultry diet (BEDFORD and CLASSEN, 1992;
CHOCT et al., 1995). It is now well documented that the
growth and feed conversion of broilers can be improved by
supplementing their diets with exogenous enzymes containing xylanases (CHOCT et al., 1995; DÄNICKE et al., 1997;
MARRON et al., 2001; PRESTON et al., 2001; VELDMAN and
VAHL, 1994).
Only a few studies have looked into the effect of enzyme
supplementation to wheat-based diets in turkeys (BOGUHN
et al., 2002; ODETALLAH et al., 2002; SANTOS et al., 2004a;
SANTOS et al., 2004b), particularly in females. In several
steps, the composition of turkey diets is adjusted to the
changes in requirements throughout the entire fattening
period. The inclusion rate of wheat and, consequently, the
content of NSP can be increased depending on the age of
the birds. This increase in substrate makes an effect of enzyme supplementation more likely with increased age. On
the other hand, some authors have stated that younger
Institut für Agrar- und Ernährungswissenschaften, Martin-Luther-Universität
Halle-Wittenberg, Halle (Saale), Germany
birds are more responsive to enzyme supplements than
older birds (PETERSEN et al., 1999; VELDMAN and VAHL,
1994). This reveals a need for examining enzyme effects
during the entire growth period of turkeys. Some studies
investigated only a certain part of the growth period
(MATHLOUTHI et al., 2003; RITZ et al., 1995), while SANTOS
et al., (2004b) demonstrated that the effect of enzyme
treatment is age-dependent.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of
exogenous NSP hydrolysing enzyme preparations in four
subsequent growth trials, with either male or female turkeys under standardised experimental conditions during
the entire fattening period. Commercially available and
developmental enzyme products were used, but a comparison of product efficiencies was not intended.
Material and methods
Study design and animal housing
Four separate feeding trials were conducted between December 2002 and September 2005. Either male or female
B.U.T. Big 6 hybrids1 were fed diets either unsupplemented
or supplemented with enzyme products mainly containing
endoxylanase activity in a phase feeding program. As detailed in Table 1, the growth period was divided into six
and five phases (P1 to P6) running 20 to 22 weeks for male
turkeys and 16 weeks for female turkeys.
All experiments were conducted in the same animal
house at the University Research Centre for Animal Sciences in Merbitz. Ten hatchlings per sex were grouped in pens
that were 2 m × 2 m in size. In experiments I and II, 11 pens
of males (I) and females (II) were allocated to 1 out of 3 dietary treatments. In experiment III and IV, 17 pens of
males (III) and females (IV) were used per treatment.
Treatments were evenly distributed in the animal house.
During P1 to P3, individual animals that died or had to
be culled were replaced by birds that had been fed the respective diet in a separate (non-experimental) pen. Removals during P4, P5 and P6 were not replaced. Based on
the size of the pens, the number of birds per pen was reduced to 8 at the beginning of P4, and to 6 at the beginning
of P6.
The ambient temperature in the animal house was gradually decreased from 36°C on days 1 and 2 to 16°C on day
40. During summer, the climate was largely affected by

1 Planned duration: 35 days. P5 was extended by 6 days because P3 and P4 had to be finished earlier than planned due to shortage in feed.
outdoor temperatures because the building could not be
cooled. Lighting was continuous during the first three days
and then reduced until day 12. Afterwards, the daily light
period was 16 h with an intensity of approximately 10 lux.
Wood shavings or chaffed straw were used as bedding material. Birds had permanent access to drinking water. Diets
were available ad libitum from feeder troughs, which were
re-filled by hand with pre-weighed amounts as required.
All diets were pelleted through a 3-mm die. Steam was applied during pelleting in experiments I and III, but not in
experiments II and IV. For P1, pellets were crumbled. Apart
from those fed in Experiment IV, all diets contained a coccidiostat during P1 to P4. Birds underwent routine vaccination against Newcastle Disease. No other medical treatment was necessary.
Diets and chemical analyses
The basal ingredients of all diets were wheat, solvent-extracted soybean meal from dehulled seed, palm oil and
fishmeal (Table 2). The dietary inclusion rate of ingredients slightly varied amongst experiments, but largely in between the phases of each experiment. In most diets, rye
was considered an additional pentosan source. Free amino
acids were included in order to allow an adequate amino
acid supply in combination with a maximised cereal inclusion rate. Diets were formulated to contain ME and nutrients at least at the levels recommended by the National Research Council (NRC, 1994). Recommendations given by
the breeding company were also considered.
In all experiments, treatment 1 served as the control diet
without any enzyme supplementation. In the other treatments, diets were supplemented with preparations containing endo-β-1,4-xylanase, and different products were
used in the experiments (Table 3). Therefore, an efficiency
comparison of products was neither possible, nor intended. The products were either premixed with a small
amount of feed before being mixed into the diets, or applied as a liquid product post pelleting. In no case did the
temperature of the pellets exceed 90°C. In Experiment II,
the same product was applied in two different concentrations. Complete and pelleted diets were analysed for their
enzyme activities, and the intended differences in the enzyme levels between treatments were basically confirmed
(Table 4). Analysed concentrations of crude nutrients are
shown in Table 5 and confirm the similarity of diets
amongst treatments within each experiment.
Arch.Geflügelk. 4/2007
The crude nutrient concentrations were analysed according to standards applied in Germany (NAUMANN and
BASSLER, 1976). Detection of enzyme activity was product-specific. In Experiments I and III, determination of xylanase activity in the two products and all diets was made
as endoxylanase units (EXU) according to ENGELEN et al.,
(1996) and as a thermo stable xylanases unit (TXU) with a
modification of this method by DSM, Delft, The Netherlands. In Experiment II, enzyme activity was determined
by Biopract GmbH, Berlin, Germany. Results of experiments I to III are expressed as product equivalents, which
were calculated on the basis of analysed activities of endo-1,4-β-xylanase. Xylanase activities in Experiment IV
were detected by AB Enzymes Oy, Rajamäki, Finland. One
xylanase unit (BXU) is defined as the amount of enzyme
that produces reducing carbohydrates having a reducing
power corresponding to one nmol xylose from birch xylan
in one second at pH 5.3 and 50°C.
Data registration and statistical analysis
On day 1 of the experiments and at the end of each phase,
the animals’ body weight (BW) and the amount of feed remaining in the feeder were determined. The average BW
gain of birds was determined as the difference in average
BW at the end and beginning of each phase. Feed consumption per bird was calculated as the total amount of
feed consumed by one pen per phase, divided by the
number of birds per pen. In case of any elimination of individual animals between regular weighing dates, the
amount of feed needed until this day was recorded, and
the amount of feed subsequently used was divided by the
reduced number of animals.
Data were subjected to the glm procedure using the SAS
software package for Windows, version 9.1 (2002-2003
SAS Institute Inc., USA). The Tukey test was applied to determine whether treatments were significantly different
within each experiment. The chosen level of significance
was P≤0.05.
Results
In Experiment I, turkeys increased their BW from 58 g to
nearly 22 kg (Table 6). The final BW was significantly improved by supplementation of the two enzyme products.

effect on the final BW was detected in Experiment IV. The
final BW was also higher in the enzyme-supplemented
treatments in Experiment II, but these differences were not
significant.
In Experiment I, daily BW gain in the individual phases
was not significantly different, but calculated for the total
experimental period BW gain was significantly improved
by 2.6% by the enzyme supplementation (Table 7). In Experiment III, daily BW gain was significantly improved by
enzyme supplementation in P5 and P6 as well as in the
whole experimental period (by 4.0%). With the female turkeys in Experiment II, a significant treatment effect was detected in P3 and P5. BW gain in the whole experimental peArch.Geflügelk. 4/2007

by 1.0 and 1.6%, but these differences were not statistically
significant. In Experiment IV, the differences in BW gain

but calculated for the total experimental period the BW
gain was significantly improved by 1.5% by the enzyme
supplementation.
The daily feed intake of male turkeys increased from approximately 30 g in P1 to about 660 g in P5 and P6 in Experiment I (Table 8). In Experiment III, the level of intake
was lower in phases P4 to P6. The overall level of feed intake was, as expected, lower in females than in males. Significant treatment effects on feed intake were detected
only in Experiment IV, and the intake calculated for the

whole experimental period was by 2.6% reduced in the enzyme supplemented treatment of this experiment.
The feed conversion ratio (g BW gain/g feed) continuously decreased depending on the age of birds (Table 9). In
at least 4 phases of all the 4 experiments, the BW gain/feed
ratio was higher in the enzyme-supplemented treatments.
These differences were statistically significant in 3 and 4
phases of Experiment I and III, and in 1 phase and 4 phases
of Experiment II and IV, respectively. The cumulative BW
gain/feed ratio of males, calculated for the entire experimental period, was significantly improved due to enzyme
supplementation by 5.0 and 3.7% in Experiments I and III,
respectively (Figure 1). For females, the cumulative BW
gain/feed ratio was 3.3% higher in treatment 3 than in the
control treatment of Experiment II, and 4.0% higher in the
enzyme-supplemented treatment of Experiment IV. The
latter difference was statistically significant.
Discussion
The present studies showed beneficial effects when different xylanase-containing products were included in diets
for turkeys. To the knowledge of the authors studies on this
subject with female turkeys were not published. Data from
the present studies show that an NSP hydrolysing enzyme
supplementation to wheat-based diets has positive effects
on the performance of both male and female turkeys. Regardless of the differences in the growth pattern of male
and female turkeys, the feed conversion was improved for
both sexes that were fed the supplemented diet in comparison to the control diet.
The cumulative BW gain/feed ratio was improved by approximately 3 to 5% in all experiments. Wheat, rye and
triticale contain a relatively high concentration of NSP con-

sisting mainly of arabinoxylans and some β-glucans (ANNI1991; ANTONIOU et al., 1981; FLORES et al., 1994). Two
models have been proposed for the antinutritive role of soluble NSP (BEDFORD and MORGAN, 1996). First, the arabinoxylans, which are components of the endosperm cell wall,
are considered to affect the digestion of other nutrients.
Second, these NSP dissolve in the intestine and cause increased digesta viscosity, as well as a reduced rate of nutrient absorption. Supplementation of grain-based poultry
diets with enzymes may reduce these antinutritional problems (ACAMOVIC, 2001), which is confirmed with regard to
turkeys by the present data. The supplementation of
wheat-based diets for turkeys with a NSP hydrolysing enzyme preparation led to significant reduction in viscosity
of digesta from the ileum (GÜNAL et al., 2004; SANTOS et al.,
2004a). Results of the present study indicate that the older
the birds grow, the higher the effects are (Figure 2). Likewise, this is the effect of increasing substrate concentration
in the diets due to the increased inclusion of wheat and
rye. In broilers, digesta viscosity declined with increasing
age (PETERSEN et al., 1999), suggesting that supplementing
an enzyme is most effective in young birds (VELDMAN and
VAHL, 1994). This may result from the developing microbial
activity, because a major effect of NSP is to encourage bacterial growth in the caeca (MATHLOUTHI et al., 2002). Therefore, the viscosity could be decreased through an increase
of the microflora population with age (BEDFORD and MORGAN, 1996). Although this development might be similar in
turkeys, it has different consequences. As turkeys’ growth
period is longer than that of broilers and their diets contain
more cereal grains in the end phases, the enzyme products
were particularly efficient in older birds.
The effect of NSP hydrolysing enzyme supplementation
on performance appears to depend on the dose of pentosans (BEDFORD and CLASSEN, 1992). SANTOS et al. (2004b)

drawn from the present experiments. In Experiment II,
there were no effects in growth and feed conversion by
doubling the enzyme amount from 50 to 100 mg/kg and
only one product level was used in the other experiments.
A commercial preparation of xylanase and β-glucanase
applied to wheat and wheat/barley-based diets for young
turkeys caused an optimal growth performance and feed
efficiency at a level of 20 mg/kg; no additional benefit
was obtained with an enzyme concentration of 30 mg/kg
(MATHLOUTHI et al., 2003). The negative correlation be-
tween the diet’s NSP content and its nutritive value (ANNIindicates that it is possible to
predict the amount of enzymes to be added to the diet
(CHOCT, 2001). However, the diets contain plant ingredients with a high chemical complexity and carbohydrate
variability (BEDFORD and SCHULZE, 1998; CARRÉ and
BRILLOUET, 1986), making it difficult to predict the response to various types of supplemented enzymes. In order to develop an enzyme product, more detailed analyses of structural changes and more information about the

animals’ intestinal mechanisms are necessary (BEDFORD,
2000).
Males in experiments I and III grew distinctly different.
While growth rate was slightly higher in Experiment III
than in I during P2 to P4, it was much lower in P5 and P6
(Table 7). Differences in feed intake in P5 and P6 can be
considered the main reason for the differences in growth.
Additionally, the BW gain/feed ratio in P6 was lower in Experiment III than in Experiment I, which may have its reason in the longer duration of P6 (4 weeks in Experiment III
and 3 weeks in Experiment I). While Experiment I was finished in May, Experiment III lasted until September and P5
and P6 felt into the hottest period of the year. We assume
that the low level of feed intake was a response of the birds
to the high temperature. Turkeys did not show any signs of
sickness, and chemical analysis of the diets did not give any
indication that this was a diet-induced phenomenon.
To avoid environmental and animal welfare problems
and to reduce productivity losses, the control of excreta
moisture has become a priority in today’s modern poultry
industry (BEDFORD and MORGAN, 1996). Excreta moisture
and bedding appearance were not evaluated in these studies, but enzyme supplementation had a positive effect on
the appearance of the bedding material in a previous study
with a similar design (BOGUHN et al., 2002). This is in line
with a reduction in turkey digesta viscosity caused by supplementation of a NSP hydrolysing enzyme preparation
(GÜNAL et al., 2004; SANTOS et al., 2004a). In other studies,
no changes in performance parameters were observed at

all (MCNAB et al., 1996; RITZ et al., 1995). However, results
of some recently published experiments demonstrated
marginal improvements in performance parameters of turkeys fed diets with supplemented enzymes (GROßER et al.,
1996; ODETALLAH et al., 2002; SANTOS et al., 2004a; SANTOS
et al., 2004b). As in the present study, the enzyme preparations significantly improved the feed conversion between 3 and 6% as compared to each control treatment
(BOGUHN et al., 2002; MATHLOUTHI et al., 2003), particularly
during the finishing fattening phases. Because in the last
half of the growth phase more than 80% of the total turkey
feed is used, the application of endoxylanases in turkey diets based on wheat and rye is a promising tool to improve
feed conversion.
Summary
In four separate feeding trials, male or female B.U.T. Big 6
turkeys were fed diets either unsupplemented or supplemented with enzyme products mainly containing endoxylanase activity in a common phase feeding program. The
growth period was divided into six and five phases running
20 to 22 weeks for male turkeys, and 16 weeks for female
turkeys. Inclusion of wheat as a basal component of the
diets varied between 36% in P1 and 61% in P6. In most
diets, rye was included as an additional pentosan source.
All diets were formulated according to the respective recommendation for nutrient concentration and ME. Body

weight and feed intake were determined at the end of each
phase and the feed conversion ratio was calculated.
The supplementation of the enzyme products significantly improved the body weight gain in three of the four
experiments in a range between 1.5 and 4.0%. At the end
of the experiments turkeys weighed approximately 22
(males) and 11 kg (females). A significant effect of enzyme
supplementation on feed consumption was detected only
in one experiment. The feed conversion ratio was higher by
3.3 to 5.0% in male and female birds fed the enzyme
supplemented diets in comparison with the control groups.
The effect of enzyme supplementation on feed conversion
ratio became more pronounced with increasing inclusion
of wheat plus rye in the diet and was significant in regard
to the total experimental period in three out of the four experiments.
In conclusion, the supplementation of diets based on
wheat and including some rye with endoxylanases or mixtures of endoxylanase and β-glucanase improves growth
and efficiency of feed conversion in turkeys.

Zusammenfassung
Einfluss des Zusatzes von Produkten mit Nicht-Stärke-Polysaccharide spaltenden Enzymen zu Weizen-betonten Rationen für männliche und weibliche Puten
Männliche oder weibliche Puten der Herkunft B.U.T. Big
6 wurden in vier separaten Fütterungsversuchen nach einem üblichen Phasenfütterungsprogramm mit Futtermischungen mit oder ohne Zusatz NSP-spaltender Enzyme
(überwiegend Endoxylanase) gefüttert. Die Mastperiode
war in sechs bzw. fünf Phasen unterteilt und betrug 20 bis
22 Wochen für die männlichen bzw. 16 Wochen für die
weiblichen Tiere. Der Anteil von Weizen als Hauptkomponente in den Rationen lag zwischen 36% in P1 und 61% in
P6. In den meisten Rationen wurde Roggen als weitere
Pentosan-Quelle zugesetzt. Alle Futtermischungen waren
in ihrer Nährstoffkonzentration und der ME nach den bestehenden Empfehlungen ausgeglichen. Am Ende einer jeden Mastphase wurde die Lebendmasse und der Futterverbrauch bestimmt und die Futterverwertung berechnet.
Der Zusatz von NSP-spaltenden Enzymen führte in drei
der vier Versuche zu einer signifikanten Verbesserung der
Lebendmassezunahme über die gesamte Mastperiode von
1,5 bis 4,0%. Die männlichen und weiblichen Tiere erreichten am Ende der Mast im Mittel eine Lebendmasse
von etwa 22 und etwa 11 kg. Ein signifikanter Einfluss auf
den Futterverzehr wurde in einem der vier Versuche beobachtet. Die männlichen und weiblichen Tiere der Varianten
mit Enzymzusatz benötigten weniger Futter pro kg Lebendmassezunahme als die Kontrolltiere (3,3 bis 5,0%).
Dieser Effekt wurde mit zunehmenden Mischungsanteilen
von Weizen plus Roggen deutlicher und war über den gesamten Versuchszeitraum betrachtet in drei von vier Versuchen signifikant.
Es wird die Schlussfolgerung gezogen, dass der Zusatz
von Xylanasen oder Mischungen aus Xylanase und β-Glucanase zu Weizen-betonten Rationen und bei Einsatz von
Roggen die Futterverwertung und das Wachstum verbessern kann. Demnach können Weizen und Roggen bei Nutzung eines geeigneten Enzympräparates in der Fütterung
von männlichen und weiblichen Puten eingesetzt werden.
