AB - <p>An experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of broiler chickens to dietary levels of Rice offal as replacement to Wheat offal, using a completely randomized design, A total of three hundred (300) day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks obtained from a commercial hatchery were used for the experiment. Feed and water were supplied ad lib and the trial lasted for 4 weeks. In the experiments. Rice offal replace Wheat offal as diet 1,2,3,4 and 5 respectively, as 0 (diet 1), 25 (diet 2), 50 (diet 3), 75 (diet 4), and (diet 5)100% levels. However, a synthetic enzyme, Roxazyme G, at 100g/kg feed was supplemented along with the offal. The Results showed no significant influence (P<0.05) of diet on initial weight, total weight, final weight gain and feed conversion ratio. However, performance traits significantly (P<0.05) differ among the diets on total feed intake, daily feed intake, daily weight gain and week 4 weight gain respectively. It was therefore concluded that Rice offal can replace Wheat offal with synthetic enzyme supplementation up to 100% level in broiler chicken diets without compromising performance.<br><br></p>
