dc.description.abstract |
Extruded hatchery waste mixture was fed to commercial broiler chicks from 1 through 8 weeks, replacing the fish meal at 33.3, 66.6 and 100 percent levels in the rations, in order to evaluate its feeding value vis-a-vis the fish meal. Six hundred and forty, one-week old chicks were divided into 4 groups on equal weight and equal sex basis. Each group had 2 replicates. Hatchery waste replaced the fish meal at 0 (T1), 33.3 (T2), 66.6 (T3) and 100 (T4) percent levels in broiler rations. The body weight gains were 1443, 1383, 1410 and 1368g in T�> T2, T3 and T4 groups, respectively, whereas FCR values were 2.62, 2.67, 2.60 and 2.67 in the corresponding treatments. Both the body weight gains and FCR revealed no statistically significant diffrerence among different treatment groups. The profits earned over the sale of 1000 broilers from each group were Rs. 13286.02, 11869.55, 14379.18 and 12599.30 in T�> T2, T3 and T4 treatments, respectively. It can be concluded that the hatchery waste can replace the fish meal from broiler rations completely. |
