his study assessed the supplemental value of roxazyme G2G in the utilization of cassava starch residue (CSR) by broiler-
chickens in an eight-week feeding trial involving 450-day-old chicks. Fifty broiler-chicks were distributed to each of
the nine dietary treatments, replicated five times of ten birds per replicate in completely randomization with 3 x 3 factorial
arrangements of treatments. Cassava starch residue meal replaced maize in the diets at 0, 20 and 40% levels and enzyme
supplementation at 0, 100 and 200 mg/kg to each level of CSR inclusion. Results showed that birds fed diet containing 20%
CSR were similar (P>0.05) in the two physiological growth phases (starter and finisher) to the birds fed the control with
respect to average daily weight gain (24.02 versus control: 24.24 g/b/d, and 40.94 versus control: 40.82 g/b/d, respectively)
while enzyme supplementation at 100 mg/kg enhanced the replacement of maize with CSR up to 40% at both phases without
compromising the weight gain of the birds. However, CSR x Enzyme supplementation interaction was not significant (P>0.05)
suggesting that the trial could be independent of the two factors. Cost of feed $/kg weight gain significantly (P<0.05) decreased
in broiler-chickens fed on CSR meal with 100 mg/kg enzyme supplementation with significant (P<0.05) interaction of CSR x
Enzyme supplementation implying the dependency of cost of feed $/kg weight gain on these factors. The study revealed that
replacement level of CSR for maize in broiler-chicken diet could be increased to 40% with roxazyme G2G supplementation at
100 mg/kg.
