Feeding trial on the effect of dried blood and rumen content (DBRC) on carcass yield of Japanese quails was studied up to 5 weeks. The DBRC was included at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% in diets as Control, Treatment-1 (T1), Treatment-2 (T2), Treatment-3(T3), Treatment-4 (T4), Treatment-5 (T5) and Treatment-6 (T6) respectively in a completely randomized design to replace soybean meal in Japanese quail feed. There was a highly significant (P<0.01) difference observed in carcass yield, dressing percentage, breast percentage, percentage of thigh, percentage of back and percentage of neck, inedible offals percentage, edible offals percentage, head percentage, feet percentage, feather and skin percentage. The DBRC mixture can replace soyabean meal up to 30% level without any deleterious effect on the carcass yield of birds slaughtered at 5 weeks of rearing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
