Performance of Broiler Chicks Fed Different Levels of Sun-Dried Yam Peels with and

Abstract

Presently one of the biggest impediments to livestock production in general, and poultry Production in particular, in the developing countries of the world is the high cost of feed Ingredients. Consequently the conventional energy and protein sources have become less available for animal feeding in these countries due to their high cost, resulting invariably from low National production levels and in some cases from the ban on their importation as was the case for maize in Nigeria recently. There has, therefore, been an intensive search for cheap energy and protein substitutes for cereal grains and conventional protein supplements
