Abstract

The effect of replacing maize with graded levels of cassava root
meal (CRM) as energy source in the diet of laying hens was evaluated
during the eight weeks of feeding experiment on performance and cost
benefits on layers. Forty-five Nera black laying hens of 24 weeks of age
were allocated to five dietary treatments, with nine birds per treatment
in a completely randomized design. CRM was used to formulate the
diets at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The result showed that the feed intake
of birds in the control group was significantly (p<0> those fed the CRM diets. The average weight gain of layers receiving up
to 50% CRM was similar to the control birds, but significantly different
from layers fed 75 and 100% CRM. No mortality was recorded. Egg
production per hen per day and average egg weight were significantly
different (p<0> T5. Layer feed ration was made cheaper by the replacement of maize
with cassava root meal in the diets
