The present study was conducted to assess the effect of supplementation of Multi-enzymes with
lysophospholipids on production performance of pure line White Leghorn layers. Body weights
before and after the experiment did not differ significantly across the experimental diets. Irrespective
of the dietary treatments, the birds gained 3.83 per cent of live weight relative to its initial body
weight. Mean per cent Hen housed egg production was significantly (Pis less than 0.05) higher in diet
supplemented with 0.10 MEC-L than other groups. Mean egg weight and average daily feed
consumption during 25 to 35 weeks of age indicated no significant effect of enzyme supplementation.
Average daily feed consumption per bird in control, 0.05 % and 0.1% multi-enzyme supplemented
groups was 108.13, 105.66 and 107.67 g respectively and birds offered control diet recorded
numerically more feed intake than enzyme supplemented groups. Comparatively low feed per egg
was observed in 0.10 per cent group followed by 0.05 per cent group which offers economic benefits
than control diets. However, the egg quality traits between different dietary enzyme supplementation
groups showed no significant difference.
