Evaluating The Growth Performance of Gold Neslink Pullets Fed with An Egg Enhancing Bio-Fortified Cassava (Mannihot esculenta Cranz) Root Meal

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of adding an egg-enhancing supplement (Farmers Solution Provider: Multiple Dropping-FSPMD) to a cassava-based diet on the performance of egg-type chickens. The study lasted for 8 weeks and involved 300 Gold Neslink pullets randomly assigned to 10 dietary treatments with varying levels of cassava root meal (CRM) replacement and FSPMD supplementation. The results showed significant differences in feed intake, body weight gain, feed cost, age at first lay, and weight of first egg among treatments, but no significant differences in feed conversion ratio and feed cost per kilogram gain. The addition of FSPMD did not affect mortality rates during the study period
