Alleviating <i>Clostridium perfringens</i>-Induced Intestinal Lesions in Chickens Using the Xylanase <i>Cb</i>Xyn10C and Its Binary Cocktail with a Protease.

ABSTRACT: Clostridium perfringens infection can induce necrotic enteritis and lead to significant economic loss to the chicken industry. In this study, a xylanase (CbXyn10C), which effectively promotes the growth of probiotics, and a protease, which degrades the biofilm of C. perfringens, were analyzed for their ability to alleviate C. perfringens-induced necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. A total of 300 male AA chickens were divided into five treatment groups (control, no enzyme and no C. perfringens challenge; Cp, no enzyme, C. perfringens challenge; Xyn, CbXyn10C plus C. perfringens challenge; Xyn+Am, CbXyn10C+Amylase plus C. perfringens challenge; Xyn+Ap, CbXyn10C+Alkaline protease plus C. perfringens challe
