“…17 also reported decreased feed intake in birds fed diet containing 12% distillery sludge. Our findings are in consistent with the findings of previous studies who reported decline in feed intake with increasing levels of brewer’s dried yeast 9,20 . Despite of rich source of vitamins, oligomonosaccharides and unidentified nutrients distillery sludge contains nucleic acids which are the major reason of reduced feed intake.…”

“…These results are in line with Chirwa and Lebitso 26 who revealed that growing chicken on preprocessed waste activated sludge saved the cost due to the fast growth rate. Results are also in line with the findings of Rameshwari and Karthikeyan 9 and Sharif et al . (2016) who concluded that feed cost was reduced due to addition of DYS in the diet.…”

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of distillery yeast sludge (DYS) as a protein source on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and slaughtering parameters in Japanese quail birds. For this purpose, six hundred day-old quails were randomly distributed into six dietary treatments. These dietary treatments were; G1 (Control Group) fed a basal diet (CP 24%, ME 2900 kcal/kg) without DYS, while other dietary treatments were G2, G3, G4, G5 and G6 fed basal diet containing DYS @ 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0 and 7.5%, respectively. It was observed that feed intake and weight gain tended to increase (P < 0.05) up to 3% DYS. Better (P < 0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) was observed in birds fed diet containing DYS at the level of 1.5 and 3%. Dry matter and crude protein digestibility decreased with increasing levels of DYS (P < 0.05). Cost of production per 100 g of weight gain was also less in birds fed diet containing 3% DYS. Study revealed that inclusion of distillery yeast sludge in the diet of Japanese quails up to 3% improves the growth performance and economics efficacy.
