A comparative animal feeding experiment has been performed with growing chicks to test the feed value of starch waste fermented feed.
The basal complete ration contains 10% wheat bran and 5% rice bran. The 10% wheat bran and both the 10% wheat bran and 5% rice bran were substituted by the starch waste fermented feed respectively to see their comparative feed values.
The feeding experiments continued for 4 weeks and the following results have been obtained.
1. Increased body weight in both lots given 10% and 15% starch waste fermented feed rated 68 grams and 52 grams each compared with the control. The L S D test has shown a significancy of 1% level in the 10% lot and 5% in the 15% lot.
2. In feed efficiency each 42 grams and 40 grams of ration were saved per 100 grams increased body weights in the 10% and 15% starch waste fermented feed substituted lots compared with the control.
3. It has been shown that the starch waste fermented feed can well substitute with wheat bran and rice bran to make a fair mixed ration for growing chickens.
