CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CABBAGE MEAL-BASED DIET ON BROILER CHICKENS

Abstract

The proximate compositions of dried cabbage leaf residues were evaluated using standard procedures. The result for the proximate composition showed the contents of moisture (95.7%), ash (23.3%), Crude fibre (25.2%), Crude protein (11.81%), Ether extract (2.40%), Nitrogen Free Extract (37.29) and calorie value of 1957.09kcal/kg. Ether extract was not significant (P>0.05) in T1 (4.93%) and T4 (4.81%) but significantly different from T2 (5.36%) and T3 (5.36%). The carbohydrate values were significantly higher in the control diet (67.79) when compared with the substituted diets. Significant (P
