Effect of enzyme treatment on nutritive value of palm kernel expeller cake.
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of enzyme treatment on nutritive value of palm kernel expeller (PKE). The experiment consisted of 2 treatments; PKE with or without enzyme incubated in 80% water at 65% for 18 hours. Enzyme treatment significantly reduced (P<0.01) NDF and A...

| Summary: | The objective of this study was to examine the effects of enzyme treatment on nutritive value of palm kernel expeller (PKE). The experiment consisted of 2 treatments; PKE with or without enzyme incubated in 80% water at 65% for 18 hours. Enzyme treatment significantly reduced (P<0.01) NDF and ADF contents. Similarly the gross energy of enzyme treated PKE was higher than the control (P<0.01). The results suggested that the tested enzyme worked efficiently to break down hemicelluloses mannans in PKE. |
