Effect of dietary inclusion of maize gluten meal on performance, gut health, anti-oxidant status and carcass characteristics of Vencobb Broilers
Abstract
The present study evaluates the effect of replacing the dietary crude protein (CP) of vegetable source with that of maize gluten meal (MGM) on the performance, gut health and carcass composition of vencobb broilers. Two hundred day-old Vencobb chicks were randomly distributed into five treatments having four replicates of ten birds each. Treatments included CON: basal diet without MGM; MGM25: Replacement of 25% CP of vegetable source with MGM; MGM50: Replacement of 50% CP of vegetable source with MGM; MGM75: Replacement of 75% CP of vegetable source with MGM and; MGM100: Replacement of 100% CP of vegetable source with MGM. MGM25 birds had significantly (p
