Popis: Aim: The objective was to study the growth performance of the broiler birds after feeding Okara meal containing with or without non-starch polysaccharides degrading enzyme. Materials and Methods: 220 day-old broiler chicks were individually weighed and divided randomly into five treatment groups (T1 , T2 , T3 , T4 and T5 ) consisting of 44 chicks each which was further subdivided into four replicates of 11 chicks. The feed consumption in each replicates of five groups was recorded daily for a total period of 6 weeks experimental feeding. Results: The average total feed consumption of six weeks was 3948.10±7.60, 4088.76±8.30, 4415.33±9.44, 4381.24±9.25 and 4728.76±10.05 (g) in groups T1 , T2 , T3 , T4 and T5 respectively. The differences were statistically non-significant (P>0.05) among the various groups. The average total body weight gain and average daily weight gain in birds of group T4 were significantly higher (P
