The effects of rice hull supplementation or inclusion on performance and gastrointestinal weight of broiler chickens

Emerging trends in the appliance of ultrasonic technology for valorization of agricultural residue into versatile products

“…These residues typically comprise lignocellulosic biomass, primarily consisting of cellulose making up between 35 and 55%, hemicellulose between 25 and 40%, and lignin between 15 and 25%, with a small percentage of extractives, protein, and ash [6] , which can each be used to generate products with substantial value. For instance, some agricultural wastes, such as rice husk [7] , [8] , and wheat straw [9] are converted into animal feed. This is due to the availability and affordability of these residues as supplies.…”

Impact of palm kernel cake with or without multi-blend enzyme on the growth performance and carcass traits of Sasso broilers

“…Though broilers require fibre for the proper functioning of the digestive tract, their response to fibre inclusion depends on the source and level of dietary fibre, the characteristics of the diet, as well as the physiological status and health of the birds [ 4 ]. Broiler birds have, however, been fed on different sources of non-conventional feed ingredients such as corncob [ 5 ], palm kernel cake [ 6 , 7 ], rice husks [ 8 ] and cocoa pod husk [ 9 , 10 ].…”
