The aim of this project was to identify the optimum level of cassava pulp (CSP), a by-product of the cassava starch industry, which can be used in layer and broiler chicken diets. Source of cassava pulp, dietary inclusion level, and supplementation with microbial enzymes were investigated, in terms of nutritive value of the ingredient and its effect on utilization of nutrients by layers and broilers. Feeding trials on layer and broiler were conducted in Thailand in environmentally controlled housing. Each experimental chapter has been presented as a stand-alone research paper. |
