EFFECT OF REPLACING COCOA HUSK FOR WHEAT BRAN ON INTERNAL ORGANS, CARCASS YIELD, SERUM METABOLITE AND ECONOMICS OF PRODUCTION OF GROWING COCKERELS
Abstract
Total protein and serum urea concentrations were higher than the reference values. Creatinine concentrations were lower on all the cocoa husk diets compared with the control. Wheat bran can be replaced by 25% cocoa husk in the finisher diet of cockerels to produce good quality carcass at reduced cost without adverse effects on serum metabolites.
