 Varying levels of sun dried poultry manure (SDPM) has been tested as a replacement for a controlled poultry diet and fed to two breeds of laying birds at 5 weeks of age for I3 weeks. ‘ Birds of the two breeds fed on diets containing 10,15 and 20% SDPM grew significantly slower compared with those fed on the control diet.
