abstract = {Problem statement: Due to price hikes in feed, several strategies should be sought to reduce
feeding costs. At the same time, there has been a considerable increase in environmental pollution from
food waste. If food waste could be transferred into poultry diets, this would solve a great problem, helping
poultry producers to reduce feeding costs, while reducing environmental problems arising from the disposal
of food waste. The present study was performed to evaluate the possibility that Eco-feed (feed produced
from recycled food waste) can be used as a feed ingredient source for layer hens. Approach: To promote
the quality of conventional Eco-feed, it was sunk into Japanese Mugwort Silage Juice (JMSJ) including
microorganism compounds and combined with a compound of microorganisms derived from JMSJ,
resulting in Eco-feed Containing Mugwort microorganism compounds (ECM). Thirty-two 56-wk-old
White Leghorn hens were divided into 4 groups of 8 birds each. They were fed 0 (control), 10, 20 or 30%
dietary ECM for 12 weeks. Results: Compared with the control, although the chickens in all the
experimental groups consumed less feed (p},
