The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of enzyme supplementation on utilization of Safflower cake safflower cake replacing soybean de-oiled cake and without enzyme on the performance of commercial broiler chicken. Four hundred straight run commercial day-old broiler chicks were equally and randomly distributed into five treatment groups which were subdivided into four replicates containing 20 chicks in each, reared on deep litter The enzyme-Natuzyme@ 0.035% supplemented groups had non significantly higher body weight in comparison to birds in control groups. The body weight, weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency in all the treatment groups were comparable with the control group. Better feed efficiency was observed in birds fed 50 % safflower DOC on protein basis with enzyme group. The maximum dressing yield was observed in group fed 25 % safflower DOC on protein basis group T1. Addition of safflower DOC either at 50 % or 25 % with enzyme was found to be cost effective. Soybean de-oiled cake in broiler diets may be replaced up to 25 % on protein basis by with enzymes for optimum performance in broiler chicken
