title: Nutritional value of aerobically fermented poultry manure and offal (Fermway) for broiler chicks.
abstract: The nutritional value of two samples of an aerobically fermented poultry product (Fermway) were evaluated for broiler chicks. Fermway is a combination of broiler house litter and offal from a broiler processing plant. A significant (P less than .05) growth stimulation was obtained with one sample at 8 to 16% of the diet. Feed efficiency generally improved, but the effect was not significant. Gizzard weight was also significantly increased.
