Chicken feather was processed with alkali as well as autoclaving, to compare the feeding value of feather meal of both processing methods. Studies were also to compare the nutritive values of human-hair meal and feather meal for poultry. The results were summarized as follows: 1) Pepsin digestability of alkali processed feather meal was very much comparable to that of autoclaving, indicating that either alkali treatment or autoclaving is applicable to process raw feathers for feather meal production. 2) Prior treatment of raw feather with dilute alkali shortens the autoclaving time of processing feather, and the feeding value of processed feather was also improved over that of the feather meal processed with autoclaving alone. 3) The feeding trials indicate that the group of chickens fed alkali treated hair meal is equally well responded with that of alkali treated feather meal, showing both feather meal and hair meal could be replaceable each other as a nutritive ingredient for poultry. 4) Both feather meal and hair meal could be added in feed up to 4% to replace soybean meal or fish meal or both without exerting any adverse effects on the growth.
