Abstract

Eight weeks feeding trial was carried out using a total of one hundred and forty seven day old broiler chicks to assess nutrients digestibility and cost analysis of broiler chickens fed diets containing graded levels of brewer’s dried grains supplemented enzyme and yeast. Seven experimental diets (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7) were formulated using brewers dried grains at three different dietary inclusion levels of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Diet 1 was the basal diet (control) designated as T1, Diets 2, 3 and 4 consisted of 5, 10 and 15% BDG as replacement for maize supplemented with 200mg/100kg enzyme designated as T2, T3 and T4 while diets 5, 6, 7 consisted 5, 10 and 15% BDG as replacement for maize supplemented with 200mg/100kg yeast designated as T5, T6 and T7 respectively. The diets were formulated for starter phase (1-4 weeks) and finisher phase (5-8 weeks) respectively. Results of nutrients digestibility revealed the percentage dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, ash and nitrogen free extract were significantly (P < 0.05) affected across all the dietary treatments. Cost benefit analysis revealed the cost of feed consumed, cost of production, total revenue and cost benefit were significantly (P < 0.05) affected across the dietary treatments. Cost benefit was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in values of ₦ 87.04 and ₦ 981.47 (T4 and T7) with 15% BDG supplemented with enzyme and yeast at both starter and finisher phases respectively. From the results obtained in this study, 15% BDG supplemented with phytase enzyme and yeast can be included to replace maize in broiler diets for higher profit margin without negatively affecting performance.
