Growth response, nutrient digestibility and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens fed dried kitchen waste meal as a partial replacement for corn

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dry kitchen waste meal (KW) as a partial replacement for maize on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and carcass characteristics broiler chickens. A total 160 chicks were used study. The randomly assigned four dietary treatment groups T1, T2, T3 T4 40 birds each with 10 per replicate in completely randomized design (CRD). lasted six weeks. Four experimental diets formulated KW replacing at levels 0%, 10%, 20% 30% representing respectively both starter finisher diets. results showed that daily feed intake significant difference among groups. Broilers fed highest average while those recorded least. Nutrients parameters such ash crude fiber significantly different across treatments. Therefore, can replace up broilers diet without any negative will be suitable feeding
