Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of using diets containing fermented fish waste on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. A total of 240 male Cobb 500 broilers were allocated into 5 treatments with 4 replicates (12 chickens in each replicate) using a completely randomized design. Experimental treatments contained 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% fermented fish waste replaced by soybean meal in diets. Results showed that 1-10 days weight gain in chickens fed diets containing 9 and 12 percentage of fermented fish waste was more than chickens fed control diet (P<0.05). At 11-22 days and 23-42 days, replacing different levels of fermented fish waste with soybean meal in broiler diets improved weight gain and feed conversion ratio compared to the control group (P<0.05). Feed intake was not affected by treatments in any of the different periods of rearing. Liver weight in control treatment was significantly lower treatments containing fermented fish waste (P<0.05). Therefore, replacing a part of soybean meal with fermented fish waste in the diet improved growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens.
