Abstract


A feeding trial was conducted at the poultry research farm of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi to evaluate the effect of dietary levels of Rice Milling Waste (RMW) on the carcass yield and gut characteristics of broiler chickens. RMW replaced wheat offal at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels designated as diets 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Two hundred and twenty broiler chickens were randomly allotted in to five dietary treatments with fourty four chickens per treatment and replicated four times in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were supplied ad-libitum and the duration of trial lasted for eight weeks. All the carcass and gut characteristics measured were not influenced by the levels of RMW. It was concluded that RMW can completely (100%) replace wheat offal as dietary fibre source in the diet of broiler chickens with no adverse effects on carcass yield and gut characteristics of broiler chickens.
