EFFECT OF REPLACING MAIZE WITH CASSAVA ROOT MEAL AND MAIZE/SORGHUM BREWERS’ DRIED GRAINS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF STARTER BROILERS

EFFECT OF REPLACING MAIZE WITH CASSAVA ROOT MEAL AND MAIZE/SORGHUM BREWERS’ DRIED GRAINS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF STARTER BROILERS

A study was carried out with one hundred and twenty one-week-old Hubbard broilers to determine the effect of replacing maize with cassava root meal (CRM) and maize/sorghum brewers’ dried grains (MSBDG) on performance of starter broilers. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 0, 15, 30...

Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 0, 15, 30 and 45% CRM and MSBDG combined in the ratio of 1:1 in the broiler starter rations. There was no difference (P>0.05) in feed intake among the birds on 0, 15 and 45% CRM/MSBDG, but these were lower (P0.05) in daily weight gain among the birds on 0, 15 and 30 CRM/MSBDG diets, and each of these was higher than that of the birds on 45% CRM/MSBDG diet. The feed convertion ratio of 0% compared favourably with that of the birds on 15% diets, and these two diets were better (Phttp://www.revista.ccba.uady.mx/ojs/index.php/TSA/article/view/434Broilers, cassava root meal, maize/sorghum brewers’ dried grains, performance characteristics.
