ABSTRACT

1. In recent times the use of food waste in animal diets has gained considerable attention because of the increasing demand to cover the needs of human population and the high prices of conventional, arable based, animal feeds.

2. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of adding dried human food waste to the diet of meat-type chickens (broilers). Two hundred, one-day-old broilers were divided into two treatment groups, with 10 replicate pens containing 10 birds per pen. The duration of the study was 42 days. In the control (C), the diet did not contain any food waste, whereas in the second treatment (T) food waste residues from hotels made up 15% of the diet. Diets had similar crude protein and metabolisable energy content.

3. Feed intake and body weight were recorded in order to calculate weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Carcase and breast muscle yield, the weight of selected internal organs and the level of selected biochemical and haematological parameters were determined. Quality of breast muscle meat was assessed.

4. Broilers fed the control treatment consumed more feed and gained more weight compared to broilers fed waste; however, the FCR was similar. No major differences were seen for internal organ weights and haematological parameters, although some differences were observed in colour traits and shear force of meat. It was concluded that there is a potential for use of food waste in broiler diets.

摘要

1.近年来，由于满足人类需求的需求不断增加以及常规的，可耕作的动物饲料价格高昂，在动物饲料中使用厨余已经引起了广泛的关注。

2.本研究的目的是研究在肉类鸡（肉鸡）的饮食中添加干人类食物垃圾的影响。将200只一天大的肉鸡分成两个处理组，每组10只重复的钢笔，每只钢笔10只鸡。研究持续时间为42天。在对照（C）中，饮食中不包含任何食物浪费，而在第二种处理（T）中，来自酒店的食物残渣残留占饮食的15％。日粮的粗蛋白和代谢能含量相似。

3.记录采食量和体重，以计算体重增加和饲料转化率（FCR）。测定体和胸肌的产量，选定的内部器官的重量以及选定的生化和血液学参数的水平。评估了胸肌肉的质量。

4.与饲喂废物的肉鸡相比，饲喂对照处理的肉鸡消耗更多的饲料，体重增加；但是，FCR相似。尽管在肉的颜色特征和剪切力上观察到一些差异，但内部器官重量和血液学参数没有发现主要差异。结论是，在肉鸡日粮中有可能使用食物残渣。
