Popis: Abstract Background Enzyme supplementation and the inclusion of fibre in the barley‐based diets have been some of the alternatives proposed to improve productivity in the absence of growth promoters. Objective This study was performed to investigate the effect of adding sunflower hulls (SFH), a multi‐enzyme carbohydrate, and feed forms (mash and pellet) on performance and some physiological parameters in broiler chickens fed barley containing diets. Methods Treatments were two feed forms (mash vs. pelleted), and four diets consisted of a barley‐based diet (control, CTL) or test diets which contained either SFH at 30 g/kg, enzyme (ENZ; 0.2 g/kg) or combination of SFH and enzyme (SFH + ENZ). Results The results showed that average daily feed intake and average daily gain were significantly increased in chickens that were fed ENZ (p
