Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 11
Abstract
An eight (8) week experiment was conducted to assess the carcass characteristics of broiler chickens fed graded level of Rice Milling Residue (RMR) as a partial replacement for wheat offal (WO). Three hundred (300) day old Anak white strain unsexed broiler chicks which were randomly allocated to five (5) dietary treatments of sixty (60) chicks per treatment and replicated three (3) times with twenty (20) birds per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD) were used. Five experimental diets were formulated with RMR replacing WO at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% representing treatments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The result of the study showed no significant (P>0.05) difference in most of the parameters considered except in large intestine length, weight and heart that were significant (P<0.05). T5 (100%) RMR, the test diet has best performance in most parameters like live, Eviscerated, plucked and carcass weights above T1 (100%) WO, the control. T4 (75%) RMR has the best value (57.22%) dressing percentage followed by T1 (55.33%).
