SUMMARY

Two hundred four-week old broiler birds were randomly assigned to five dietary treatment groups in a completely randomized design to investigate the utilization of Local Fish Industry Waste (LFW) as a replacement for Imported Fish Meal (IFM) in a 28-day feeding trial.

Each treatment group had four replicates of 10 birds each. The LFW consists mainly of dried fish fins, heads and tails, crabs, tadpoles, shrimps, lobsters and small whole fish. The replacement of IFM with this agro-industrial by-product (LFW) did not significantly affect the performance characteristics and the carcass yield o
