The effect of Chitosan and whey powder on the weight of broiler chickens

Abstract

The surge of chicken farming in our country has garnered significant attention recently. One proposed solution involves leveraging secondary food sector products to reduce the cost of poultry feed. Waste generated by food sector businesses serves as a significant source for replenishing food supplies. This waste, including silkworm excrement, can be utilized to produce productivity-enhancing chemicals. An example is chitosan, derived from chitin through various levels of deacetylation. Whey powder is also utilized as a component, containing essential amino acids crucial for poultry. The efficiency of this product surpasses that of current industrial and vivarium feeds.
