| dc.description.abstract | Rice husks were subjected to biodegradation using the fungus Trichoderma viridii, and included in traditional diets for laying hens at rates of 20, 30 and 40%; a diet with 20% undegraded rice husk was used as control. Biodegradation of rice husk led to improvements in nutritional composition (higher crude protein; less fibre) than the untreated material. However, there was no difference in feed intake or hen-housed egg production between the diets with undegraded or biodegraded rice husk at the 20% level. Increasing the level of biodegraded rice husk from 20 to 40% resulted in a linear decrease in egg production. | en_US |
