Liveweight gain, dressing percentage backfat thickness were significantly (<0.05) higher fed 20% POM level. The cut parts, heart, liver kidney, also increased with...

Three diets were formulated and produced with Dried Broiler manure (DBM), Maize Offal (MO), Cassava flour meal (CF), Thrashed tilapia Fish (TTF)b pork-lard (PL). They compared conventional feed ingredients for growth, survival, nutrients utilization cost evaluation indices in 150 days. The biological data obtained from the fish fed at 5% biomass did not revealed any significant differences (P&g...
