Pineapple peel becomes a feed option only with a full quality profile

A study published on 12 November investigated pineapple peel meal as a dietary supplement for female Sasso broilers. The 56-day trial involved 240 birds assigned to a basal antibiotic-free diet, a diet with oxytetracycline, or diets containing 1.5% or 3% peel meal. The researchers assessed growth, digestibility, intestinal morphology, caecal microbiology, carcass characteristics and meat-quality parameters.
