The Value of Dried Fish Silage for Pullet and The layer Hen

Two experiments were conducted with golden Hubbard pullet chicks to investigate the replacement effects of locally prepared fish silage for imported meal in and layers' rations. Acidic neutral preparations concentrated either maize or cassava plus groundnut wheat offals, fed as a substitute meal. Results pullets showed good feed consumption all dietary treatments but efficiency was decreased (P<0.05) cassava, acidic treatments. Pullet mortality between 0.18 4.17%, being significantly highest diets. Lipid retention, metabolizable energy (ME) utilization (ME%) similar across except silage, which ME slightly high lipid retention low.
