Substitution value of cashew nut meal for soya bean meal in layers ration:- Obi Justus I.
ABSTRACT
This
project was carried out between the month of March and May 2006 with one
hundred laying hens allocated to five treatments in a completely randomized
experimental design. Each treatment was replicated with ten birds per
replicate. Five diets were formulated using cashew nut meal as the test
ingredient to substitute soyabean meal in the layers ration at inclusion levels
of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The performance of the layers at the various
inclusion levels of cashew nut was observed. The cost effectiveness of
production, the revenue realizable and the gross margin were also studied. At
the end of the experiment, it was discovered that birds fed 25% and 50% cashew
nut meal diet significantly (P<0.05) gave highest number of crates of eggs.
The revenue realized and gross margin favoured diet 2 (inclusion level of
cashew nut at 25%) therefore 25% inclusion level is recommended in the
formulation of layers ration.
