COMPARATIVE RESPONSES OF MEAT-TYPE POULTRY TO POULTRY OFFAL MEAL (POM) AND DRIED MAGGOT MEAL (DMM)IN BROILER DIm

Abstract

This experiment was conducted to compare two animal protein ingredients as an alternative to fish meal A total of 270 day-old chicks of Anak strain were used for the -&The ingredients, poultry offal meal (POW and dried maggot meal (DM&@ were locally processed, milled and used to replace fish meal (FM) at grade levels of 0,2!5,50,75 and 100% in a compounded starter diet con- 1225 m/kg MEJWg -/kg in which fish meal contributes 3.705g CPkg. (5.796 06 the diet). ResaHs showed singnificant differences in final live weight, weight gains and operative protein efficiency which were better for FM and DktM. Other pu?mekrs examined were not significantly(P c0.05) affected. There was however, higher savings accruing hum the use of POM and DMM compurci to FM. POM was slimy better in cost gains than DMM at similar levels of replacement.
