This research assessed the effects of feeding Shrimp Waste Meal (SWM) in place of fish meal, on the performance characteristics and egg quality indices in layers. Ninety Point of Lay (POL) Isa Brown pullets were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments in a completely randomised design (CRD). Each treatment of 18 POL birds was replicated 3 times with 6 birds per replicate per treatment. The effects of the treatments were evaluated in a twelve-week study in which shrimp waste meal (SWM) replaced fish meal at 0% (Treatment 1), 25% (Treatment 2), 50% (Treatment 3), 75% (Treatment 4), and 100% (Treatment 5) levels of inclusion. Birds on treatment four (T4) which contained 75% of shrimp waste meal and 25% fish meal exhibited significantly (p<0.01) higher performance than those on the control diet and the other treatments. Non-significant (P>0.05) differences were obtained in egg quality parameters (Haugh unit, Yolk Index and Albumen Index), except egg weight, which was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T4 (75% SWM and 25% FM) than the other dietary treatments. Considering egg production as a function of the cost of feed consumed, the replacement value of the diet containing 75% SWM significantly (p<0.05) exhibited the least cost (₦80.53/egg produced) compared to all the other treatments. It was therefore concluded that shrimp waste meal could best replace fish meal in laying hen diets up to 75% for the highest feed conversion efficiency, egg quality parameters, and least cost value, and it was so recommended.
