Two hundred and forty- three(243), two- weeks old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to nine treatment groups of 27 selected birds each and three replicates of nine birds each in a completely randomised design.Three levels of Tur (0, 2 and 4 g/kg) and three levels of Cay (0, 1 and 2 g/kg) were used to provide nine dietary treatments, and were fed to each groupin two phases, starter (3 to 4 weeks) and finisher (5 to 8 weeks) phases. Carcasswas measured and determined at the 8th week. Results showedthat dressed weight was most positively influenced in birds fed 2 g/kg Tp, but thigh and drumstick values were high for birds fed 4 g/kg Tp + 1 g/kg Cpp. Feeding broilers up to 4 g/kg gave good carcass yield.</p></div></div></div> ER -
