A study was planned to know the effect of various levels of palm kernel meal (PKM) on broilers. 360 day old Hubbard broiler chicks were used in study. They were divided randomly into twelve groups of thirty birds each. Four experimental diets containing 22% CP and 3000 Kcals/kg ME at starter phase and 20% CP and 3000 Kcals/kg ME at finisher phase, were prepared. Corn and soybean meal were gradually replaced with PKM. Each diet was allotted to three experiment units at random. Experiment was conducted for a period of 35 days (21 days for starter and 14 days for finisher phase). Records of weekly body weight and feed consumption were maintained. At the end of experiment, total weight gain, feed consumption, dressing percentage and organ weights were calculated. The highest body weight gain was recorded in bird fed on diet B which contained 5% PKM. Average feed consumption of diet A was less than other diets. The highest FCR was noted from the birds fed on diet D (containing 15% PKM) while the lowest FCR was noted from the birds fed on diet A (containing 5% PKM). Average dressing percentage of chicks were 65.03, 63.80, 66.01 and 67.12.

The importance of L-lysine as an essential amino acid in the nutrition of human beings has made it a desirable supplement of the diet, particularly in the under-developed and over-populated areas of the world, where the chief staples have been found deficient in this amino acid. L-lysine production brought about a new concept in fermentative production of amino acids. The microbial synthesis gives rise to optically pure L-lysine, thus making the process advantageous over the synthetic one. The demand of L-lysine is still increasing in the field of foods, animal feeds, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, etc. To meet increasing and diversified demands, there is still room for improvement in strains based on the knowledge of microbial physiology.Studies on process optimization for lowering the expense of carbon and energy source is also desirable. With these objectives, production of L-Lysine was achieved through fermentation of an auxotrophic mutant developed from a strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum. While a homoserine auxotrophic mutant resistant to AEC, displayed the potential to be used for the commercial production of L-Lysine.
