Effect of Varying Levels of Palm Oil Sludge in Broiler Finisher Rations

Maize (Zea mays L.) supplies the bulk of the energy in poultry feeds in the humid tropics of Africa and the increase in its demand has caused an escalation in its price. Evidently, for commercial poultry producers to realise profits, a relatively cheaper source of energy is therefore needed to meet the requirement of poultry. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the locally available agro-industrial byproducts to find alternative and cheaper energy sources to maize.
