QUANTIFICATION AND NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION OF POULTRY WASTE PRODUCTS AVAILABLE IN JHAUTOLA BAZAR AND CVASU AT CHITTAGONG, BANGLADESH

Abstract

The study was undertaken to observe the chemical composition as well as quantifying the amount of dead chicken carcass and poultry offal that comes from Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University and Jhautola Bazar respectively from 16th February to 16th May 2016. Samples were collected from the study areas. Chemical analyses of the samples were carried out in triplicate for moisture, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), nitrogen free extracts (NFE), ether extracts (EE) and total ash in the animal nutrition laboratory, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chittagong, Bangladesh and quantified during collection and after dressing. Results indicated that, all samples had substantial amount of proximate components that might have been used as alternative feed resource for animal feed. ME content in pure chicken intestine was 4687.73±60.01 Kcal/kg, Chicken intestine with skin 5107.73±26.82 Kcal/kg, Chicken meal 2996.93±73.44 Kcal/kg and Fish scale 2477.83±73.74 Kcal/kg. Crude protein content in pure chicken intestine was 47.69±0.25 g/100g, Chicken intestine with skin 41.21±0.76 g/100g, Chicken meal 65.67±0.72 g/100g and Fish scale 61.87±0.96 g/100g. Fat content in pure chicken intestine was 38.25±0.79 g/100g, Chicken intestine with skin 47.12±0.15 g/100g, Chicken meal 2.4±0.1 g/100g and Fish scale 4.7±0.26 g/100g. Quantification of the poultry waste shows that there were 29.37 kg usable meat and approximately 1484 kg poultry offal found at CVASU. It could therefore, be inferred that, these poultry wastes might be used as an alternative feed resource for different animals in scarcity of traditional feeds if available at cheaper price.
