Discussion

Experimental analysis reveals that feed conversion ratio and growth performance are affected by palm kernel cake and decanter cake in broiler diets.

Broiler chicks showed reduced body weight and carcass weight when fed more than 6% palm kernel cake or decanter cake.
Higher inclusion levels of feed ingredients increased feed intake and feed conversion ratio, impacting growth performance.
Statistical analyses indicated significant differences at p < 0.05 using ANOVA and Duncan's Test for treatment effects.
Meat quality traits remained stable, with no significant changes in growth-related genes across all diet variations.

Loh et al. (2025) studied this question.
