Effect of Replacement of Maize with Dry Bakery Waste with or without Lysophospholipid in Broiler Diet

Abstract

The trial was conducted on 240-day-old broiler chicks for a period of six weeks. The day old chicks were randomly divided into four equal groups viz. T₀, T₁, T₂ and T₃ comprising of 60 birds each, which was further sub-divided into three replicates of 20 birds each. Group T₀ was control and received corn-soybean based diet. The birds from groups T₁ received diet in which maize was replaced with dry bakery waste at 50% level. The birds from group T₂ and T₃ received diet in which maize was replaced with dry bakery waste at 50% level with 0.05 and 0.1% lysophospholipid, respectively. The replacement of maize with dry bakery waste with or without lysophospholipid @ 0.05 and 0.1% level in the broiler diets showed significantly  (P<0.05) higher live body weight and live weight gain. The feed consumption was significantly (P<0.05) higher and better FCR was observed in treatment group.  Also, significant difference (P<0.05) were observed in carcass studies like dressing percentage (P<0.05) but giblet weight showed no significant difference. The serum lipid profile was comparable among all the experimental groups. The net profit from group T₃ was found to be highest followed by T₂ and T₁ as compared to control.
