| Abstract: | A growth and metabolic study was conducted on chicks fed on one of nine experimental rations containing different levels of de‐oiled silkworm pupae meal and corn‐steep fluid as a replacement of fish meal and groundnut cake respectively. The results revealed that half of the fish meal (5 per cent) and half of the groundnut cake (10 per cent) can be safely replaced by de‐oiled silkworm pupae and corn‐steep fluid respectively on equal protein basis in chick rations. |
