Abstract
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dehydrated swill (DS) inclusion in the diet of male layers on growth performances. Experimental diets were prepared by incorporating DS at different levels with commercial broiler ration. Day old, 200 male layer chicks were randomly assigned into five treatments; T1 (0% DS, control), T2 (10% DS), T3 (20% DS), T4 (10% DS + adjusted crude protein) and T5 (20% DS+ adjusted crude protein) in Completely Randomized Design with four replicates of ten birds per each. On day 90, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and dressing percentage of birds fed with different diets were not significantly different among treatments. However, birds fed with T5 showed significantly lower body weight and carcass weight compared to the control. Dehydrated swill can be incorporated in to broiler rations up to 20% without interfering on growth performances of male layers.
