Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding different protein source on carcass characteristics in commercial broilers. A total of 150, one day old cobb chicks were distributed into five treatment groups with three replicates in each group and ten chicks in each replicate. Basal diet (T1) prepared following BIS (2007) standards and the experimental diets were prepared by incorporating blood meal at 5 per cent (T2), fish meal at 5 per cent (T3), silkworm pupae meal at 5 per cent (T4) and meat meal at 5 per cent (T5). The results revealed significant difference (p≤0.05) in carcass characteristics like dressing percentage, breast yield and thigh yield in groups fed with blood meal and meat meal at 5 per cent when compared to control and other treatment groups was observed and non-significant difference (p>0.05) in drumstick yield, abdominal fat per cent, relative weight of gizzard, heart, liver and proventriculus was observed among all groups compared to control.
