Similarly, food intake and feed conversion efficiency were reduced, but not significantly. Eviscerated carcass weight was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) and dressing percentage was reduced when the inclusion level of air dried incubator eggs protein reached 75% only. A significant increase (P < 0.5) in the weights of abdominal viscera, head and shanks was also observed.
