| Popis: | AbstractAn investigation was undertaken to study the effect of replacing maize grain with tannia corm meal (TCM) on growth performance parameters and economic feasibility of Ross 308 broiler chickens. A total of 180 unsexed day-old chicks were randomly divided into 15 pens, each with 12 chicks, and assigned to five dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The treatments were replacement of maize grain with TCM at 0 (T 1), 15 (T 2), 30 (T 3), 45 (T 4) and 60% (T 5) levels. Feed intake, growth performance and mortality when it occurred were recorded, while weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. DM, CP, CF, EE and ash composition of TCM were 90.6, 3.7, 2.2, 1.2 and 2.2%, respectively, while its ME was 3121.21 kcal/kg DM. Daily feed intake of birds during starter phase was significantly different (P |
