Abstract

Feeding 180 hyperco broiler chicks varying levels of palm kernel cake (PKC), fishmeal and periwinkle flesh, showed that 25% PKC fed along with either 2% fishmeal or 6% periwinkle flesh significantly (P<0.05) improved carcass traits while the experimental feeds had no significant effect on the abdominal fat pad level, but the birds had smaller heads and intestines.
