Effect of different levels of coconut meal in broiler chicken's diets upon the carcass yield
Abstract
This experiment was carried out with the objective to evaluate different levels of coconut meal in broiler chicken's diets. It was utilized 288 chicks in randomized block design, within the period of 1 to 42 days old, under three treatments, with four replications and 24 birds in each experimental unit. The rations were isoenergetic and isoproteical to each phase. The birds fed with the levels of coconut meal didn't differ (p > 0,05) in performance. The treatments that didn't receive the coconut meal tended to maximum feed conversion. Regarding the carcass yield, results showed no difference, although the birds fed with coconut meal tended to accumulate more abdominal fat.Downloads
