Abstract:
An experiment on 160 day old chicks for eight weeks was conducted and were randomly divided into four equal groups (n=40, with four replicate of 10 birds per group). Feeding trial was designed into four dietary groups viz. T₀ (Control, without rDDGS), T₁ (7.5% rDDGS), T₂ (15% rDDGS) and T₃ (22.5% rDDGS) in different dietary groups along with basal corn soyabean diet. The study revealed that all the haemato-biochemical parameters were found to be non-significantly (p>0.05) influenced by feeding rDDGS except cholesterol which was found significantly (p<0.05) affected by varying levels of feeding rDDGS. Similarly, all the carcass traits were found to have non-significant (p>0.05) variations except gizzard which remained significantly (p<0.05) affected by feeding rDDGS. No significant (p>0.05) effect of feeding rDDGS was recorded for cut-up parts in Kuroiler chicken. Therefore, incorporation of rDDGS as alternative protein source can replaced soybean meal up to 15% in the diet of Kuroiler chicken without any effect on hematobiochemical and carcass traits.
