Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the use of different levels of wheat distillers dried grains with solubles (WDDGS) in feed with or without enzymes on performance, intestinal morphology and ileal digestibility of broiler chickens. For this purpose, 300 pieces of one-day-old male and female broilers of Ross 308 strain with an average one-day weight of 42 grams were used. This design was implemented as a factorial 3x2 in the form of a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 5 replications. The experimental diets included three levels of WDDGS (0, 10 and 20%) with and without enzyme (125g per ton). The results showed that the use of 20% WDDGS reduced the feed consumption of the final period and the average of the entire period compared to the control treatment (P<0.05). The use of 10 and 20% WDDGS in the diet of broilers decreased the digestibility of dry matter compared to the treatment without WDDGS. Also, the 20% level of WDDGS reduced protein digestibility compared to the 10% level. The use of enzyme also increased protein digestibility significantly (P<0.05). Also, broiler chickens fed with a diet containing 20% WDDGS had lower hair height and greater crypt depth than the treatment without WDDGS, but the use of enzyme caused hair height. Finally, it can be concluded that the use of 10% level of WDDGS does not have a negative effect on performance.
