Abstract
The replacement value of poultry waste for wheat offal and palm kernel cake (P.K.C.) in broiler diet was studied for four (4) weeks. Forty (40) day-old broiler chicks were allotted into four treatment groups. Within each group, there was a further sub-grouping into two replicate lots of five birds each. The treatments were four diets comprising of 0% (T1), 5% (T2), 10% (T3) and 15% (T4) of poultry waste as a replacement for wheat offal and P.K.C., in a completely randomized design. Records were kept on feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Results showed that birds fed 5% (902.75± 17.24) inclusion of poultry waste as a replacement for wheat offal and P.K.C. consumed significantly (P
