 ABSTRACT

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of partial replacement of soyabean meal (SBM) with spent brewer’s grain (SBG) with and without non starch polysaccharide enzyme (NSP) on carcass traits, meat quality and blood cholesterol of broiler chicks. For this study, 160, day old Vencobb- 400 broiler chicks were purchased and divided by completely randomized design into 5 groups, each group having four replicates with eight chicks each. The basal diet was formulated as per Bureau of Indian Standards (2007) recommendations. Experimental rations were prepared by replacing SBM with SBG at the rate of 10 and 20 per cent in T2 & T3, T4 & T5 respectively. Five hundred g/tonne of NSP enzyme were added on T3 and T5. Birds were reared for 42 days. At the end of the trial two birds from each replicate were sacrificed and used for carcass analysis. There were no significant difference among all treatments for eviscerated carcass yield, giblet weight and intestinal weight. The weight of pancreas and immune organs like thymus and spleen had shown significant difference among the treatments. However, weight of bursa of fabricious was similar. Also sensory parameters of cooked meat from these same birds were similar between groups. However, total blood cholesterol was decreased with increased inclusion of SBG.

Key words: Spent brewers grain, Non starch polysaccharide enzyme.
