Corncob-Based Diet With Enzyme Blend Improves Body Weight, Feed Efficiency and Breast Yield of Sasso Broiler Chickens.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOwing to the high cost of grains and protein, poultry nutritionists need to consider alternative feed sources from non-conventional, agro-industrial by-products to feed poultry.
objectiveThis study investigated the effects of ground corncobs (GCC) with additives as an alternative fibre source for broiler diet.
methodsThree hundred sixty 3-week-old dual-purpose chicks (Sasso X44) were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments, having 6 replicates with 15 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design. Four experimental diets were formulated: C0 (Control/Basal diet), C1 (10% GCC), C2 (10% GCC diet with 0.05% multi-blend enzyme), C3 (10% GCC diet with 0.5% flaked oyster mushroom, FOM).
resultsAt the end of the experimental period, it was revealed that apart from blood platelet counts, which were significantly low (p < 0.05) in the additive-supplemented diets, GCC and its supplementation with either multi-blend enzyme or FOM had no influence (p > 0.05) on haematological parameters. Birds fed the C0, C2 and C3 diets were more efficient (p < 0.05) in feed conversion in comparison to those fed the raw 10% GCC diet at Week 12, with the final body weight of the C2 group significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the raw GCC group. Breast yield was heavier in the birds of the C2 group compared to the raw GCC group (p > 0.05).
conclusionIt is therefore beneficial to supplement corncob diets with multi-blend enzymes and flaked oyster mushrooms since their inclusion did not have any negative influence on the blood parameters, in addition to improving feed efficiency and body weight.
