| dc.description.abstract | A total of 270 day old broiler chicks (Cobb) were used to determine the effects of quality protein maize based diet (QPM) on growth performance, carcass yield and sensory characteristics of broilers meat; economic efficiency of using QPMbased diet was also assessed. The birds were randomly assigned to diets with normal maize (NM) and two varieties of quality protein maize (QPM). Each dietary treatments had six replications with 15 birds per replication. Results showed no significant differences (p>0.05) in gain in weight, feed conversion ratio and livability among the dietary treatments. However, during 0-28 days of age, feed intake was significantly different with higher values from QPM variety 1 and NM (p<0.05). Carcass yield and cut up parts did not differ significantly. Sensory attribute of meat did not differ (p>0.05). However, purchase intention in QPM variety 2 was slightly higher than the two treatments. | |
