Overview

Randomized trial assesses growth performance and carcass traits in broiler chickens with varied feed compositions, indicating optimal inclusion levels.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate how different levels of palm kernel cake (PKC) and decanter cake (DC) affect the growth and health of broiler chickens.
  • 1,260 one-day-old male broilers randomly assigned to 18 groups with varying PKC and DC ratios and levels.
  • Data analyzed using General Linear Model (GLM) and one-way ANOVA for treatment differences.
  • Post hoc comparisons conducted using Duncan's Multiple Range Test at p < 0.05.
  • Body weight (BW) and body weight gain (BWG) decreased with 6–10% PKC and DC inclusion (p < 0.05).
  • Feed conversion ratio (FCR) increased with higher inclusion levels (p < 0.05).
  • Carcass weight and breast relative weight diminished at 8% and 10% inclusion levels (p < 0.05).
