Effects of feeding different levels of cooked and sun dried fish offal on carcass traits of growing Rhode Island Red chicks.

Fourteen days old Rhode Island Red chicks were used to evaluate effects of processed fish offal (fishmeal) on DM intake (DMI), body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR = DMI/BWG) and carcass traits. Ten chicks were assigned to each of 3 replicates of 6 diets (T(1), T(2), T(3), T(4), T(5), T(6), containing 0, 3.32, 6.
