Abstract

BACKGROUND: In-feed muramidase enzyme has been linked to numerous advantages in several animal species. In the past years, muramidase has been shown to be effective in hydrolyzing peptidoglycan fragments, especially at small-intestine level in broilers, and to improve digestibility and performance. Moreover, previous…
