UTILIZATION OF HEN MORTALITIES AS A RUMINAL BYPASS PROTEIN

摘要

The present study suggested that hen mortalities have potential as an alternative protein source for ruminants because they are a high protein by-product with a good amino acid profile and have some resistance to ruminal degradation. However, further research is necessary to evaluate the effect of hen meals on the growth performance and milk production of beef and dairy cattle in the future. The present study showed another possibility of recycling hen mortalities into a feed ingredient for other species.
