Replacement of Sesame Oil Meal by Coconut Oil Meal in Diets with or Without Fish Meal on the Performance of Laying Hen

56 star cross brown-579 commercial layers of 43 weeks of age were taken into experiment and grouped into 4. It was found that D 4 (20% coconut oil meal + 12.5% soybean oil meal) consumed highest feed (126.5 g/d) than D 1 (125.1 g/d), D 3 (124.2 g/d) and D 2 (123.3 g/d). The hen lay egg production of D 1 , D 2 and D 3 dietary groups almost similar but of D 4 was higher. The higher egg weight (64.4 g/egg) was observed in D 2 dietary group and lowest in D 4 group (61.5). The D 4 dietary group showed lower feed efficiency (2.61) than D 1 (2.6), D 3 (2.57) and D 2 (2.52) non-significantly. The live weight gain of the D 2 and D 1 dietary groups were non-significantly higher than those fed on D 3 and D 4 diets. The feed cost was lower for per kg egg production by the D 4 (Tk. 23.01) dietary group due to the use of low cost (COM and SOM) vegetable protein based diet but there was no significant differences among the dietary groups. So there is economic feasibility of feeding the coconut oil meal with or without fish meal in layer diets.
