Dietary muramidase improved growth performance, feed efficiency, breast meat yield, and welfare of turkeys from hatch to market [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2023 : Muramidase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes peptidoglycans of bacterial cell walls and improves performance of broilers in a dose-dependent manner. An experiment was conducted to evaluate muramidase supplementation, at a high or step-down dose, in turkeys ...
