The purpose of the study was to evaluate the amount of raffinose-series oligosaccharides (RSO) in soybean meal (SBM), whole white lupin seed meal (WLM), sunflower meal (SFM), and rapeseed oil meal (ROM) and to determine whether partial or complete dietary WLM replacement affected the numbers of bacteria in selected groups in the microbiota of broiler chickens and ducks without inducing any weight loss. Total counts of anaerobes, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and Escherichia coli in caecal samples from both ducks and broiler chickens, as well as in a crop chyme, in broiler chickens, were determined. Live weights before slaughter were determined. Both broiler chickens and ducks were fed a control diet with SBM (L<sub>0</sub>) or diet containing 50% or 100% WLM as a substitute for SBM (groups L<sub>50</sub> and L<sub>100</sub>, respectively). In comparison with SBM, WLM contained significantly higher amounts of RSO, and the amounts of oligosaccharides in SFM (1.73 ± 0.26 g/100 g) and ROM (1.79 ± 0.14 g/100 g) were negligible compared to those in WLM (8.26 ± 0.14 g/100 g) and SBM (6.96 ± 0.21 g/100 g). The inclusion of lupin in chicken diets did not significantly affect the monitored bacterial groups in crop chyme, but a complete replacement of SBM with WLM (L<sub>100 </sub>group) in chicken diets significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased the counts of lactobacilli in caecal samples. Partial (L<sub>50 </sub>group) and complete (L<sub>100 </sub>group) lupin supplementation in the duck diet significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased counts of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria by at least one order of magnitude. E. coli counts in poultry were not affected by changes in diet. The results of our study indicate that partial dietary replacement of SBM with WLM did not significantly affect the live weight of broiler chickens and ducks, but that complete replacement of SBM with WLM may lead to weight loss.

An eight weeks feeding trial was conducted to assess the effect of feeding graded level of soaked pigeon pea meal (SPPM) in wood ash extract or solution on the growth performance, haematological and serum biochemical indices of broiler chickens. A total of 144 day-old chicks (Anak 2000) were randomly allotted to four treatment diets (1, 2, 3 and 4) in a completely randomized design. Each treatment group was replicated three times with twelve birds per replicate, thus, having thirty-six chicks per treatment group. Diet 1 contained 0% SPPM in wood ash extract for 72hours as the control diet, while diets 2, 3 and 4 were formulated to contain 25, 50 and 75% inclusions of SPPM in place of soybean meal. Results showed that the average live weight, daily weight gain and feed intake as well as protein efficiency ratio were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the dietary treatments at the finisher phase. Broiler chickens fed 25% SPPM based diet had a higher (P<0.05) and comparable value of live weight, weight gain and protein efficiency ratio to that recorded in the control diet at the finisher phase. The haematological and serum biochemical indices revealed that albumin and total cholesterol were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the treatment diets. The albumin value (2.2g/dl) was highest in birds fed 50% SPPM, whereas, the cholesterol value decreased (P<0.05) with increasing levels of inclusion of SPPM from 0 to 75%. It therefore implies that SPPM can be partially included in broiler diets up to 25% level with optimum growth performance and without any detrimental effect on the blood profile of broiler chickens.

A total of sixty, 14-day old broiler chickens (Cobb-500) of either sex were used in this study to assess the effects of processed cassava tuber meals (0, 15, 30, and 45 gkg-1) on growth responses, meat yield, and profitability of boilers; rearing from day 14 to day 33 of ages. The experimental diets were iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous in nature, and were supplied the broilers ad libitum throughout the trial period. Broilers fed on control diet (i.e. exclusion of CTM) achieved higher (P<0.01) body weight, while the broilers offered diets with the highest amount (45 gkg-1) of CTM had the lowest body weight. Increased (P<0.01) feed intake was observed in the treatments of 21 d and 28 days of age when broilers fed diets with the supplementation of CTM, but no significant differences was found among the dietary treatments in the feed consumption of the broilers during 33 day of age. FCR differed significantly (P<.01) throughout the trial period, broilers fed diets without supplementation of CTM had the superior FCR than the others. Mortality was unaffected by all the dietary treatment groups. Moreover, different body parts (feather, head, neck, wing, viscera) and meat yields (thigh, drumstick, breast, back, giblet, dressing) were not influenced by treatments. Live weights were unaffected by all the dietary groups with/without incorporation of cassava tuber meals (CTM) up to day 21 and day 28 of  ages. Statistically significant (P<0.01) decreased live weight was observed among the treatments in 33-day old birds DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i1.11552 J. Environ.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Garcinia Kola (Bitter Kola) used as phytobiotic or herbal natural additives on biochemical and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. Five diets with different levels of inclusion of the kola were fed to a total of 150 Marshal day- old broilers. There were three replicates of ten birds per replicate. The five diets were made of control diet; diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 had 500ppm, 1000ppm, 1500ppm and 2000ppm of G. Kola respectively. The feeding trial lasted for eight weeks. Data were analyzed using completely randomized design. The results of haematological parameters examined show that there were significant (P<0.05) differences in all the haematological indices measured, the values however, did not follow any particular pattern. Highest haemoglobin, packed cell volume (PCV) and red blood cells (RBC) values were recorded for birds on 1500ppm compared to other birds with values ranging between 8.40-10.00, 25.00-29.50 and 2.47- 2.77 for Hb, PCV and RBC respectively. The least haemoglobin and PCV values were recorded in diet containing 2000ppm. Dietary supplementation of G. kola revealed significant (P<0.05) effects in the values of albumin and serum aspartate aminotransferase (SAST) with fluctuating values. The albumin level increased from 0ppm to 1500ppm G. kola inclusion levels and later dropped at 2000ppm inclusion level. Birds fed bitter kola had higher values SAST than the control group. Results of carcass analysis study revealed significant (P<0.05) differences in the values obtained for live weight, dressed weight and dressing percentage. Birds fed with 0ppm of Garcinia kola had the highest live weight (2066.70g) while those on 1500ppm had the lowest. The same trend was observed in the mean values obtained for dressed weight. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) for all the organ weights observed except kidney which was found to show improvement with increased bitter kola level. It was concluded that dietary supplementation of broiler chicken with bitter kola produced haematological and carcass results that did not follow any definite pattern.

The study aimed to determine the effect of kayambang leaves flour (Salvinia molesta) as a<br />constituent of broiler ration that contain omega-3 fatty acids, on body weight, percentage of abdominal fat and blood lipid profile including High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and Low Density Lipropotein (LDL). The material used was 100 broiler chickens unsexied 15 days old with an average a body weight of 500 ± 6.99g. Ration treatment consisted of T0 (ration without Salvinia molesta leaf meal); T1 (ration with Salvinia molesta leaf meal 6 % ); T2 (ration with Salvinia molesta leaf meal 12 %); and T3 (ration with Salvinia molesta leaf meal 18 % ). The results of the study showed Salvinia molesta leaf meal in the ration of broiler chickens affect (P&lt; 0.05) body weight. Treatment T1,T2 and T3 showed decreases compared with the control diet (T0). Abdominal fat percentage showed no significant differences (P &lt;0.05). Increase in LDL from control to treatment and decrease HDL were found in this experiment. The conclusion states that the provision of Salvinia molesta flour up to 18 % decreased the live weight of broiler, but did not decrease abdominal fat percentage. The LDL blood was increased and HDL was decreased due to addition of Salvinia molesta flour.<br />Key words: Salvinia molesta, broiler chicken, fat, blood

Soya Bean Meal

Three trials were conducted on a total of 5100 broiler chicks (0-5.5 weeks) to study the effects of different microbial phytase (Aspergillus niger) supplementations (250-1000 phytase units = PU/g) on the performance and bone mineralization of birds and on the utilization of phosphorus compared with the effects of mineral P additions as dicalcium phosphate. The basal diets (negative controls) were principally composed of soya bean meal (SBM) and grain (wheat, barley, oats) supplemented with up to 0.10% mineral P; the positive control diets were supplemented with 0.24-0.30% mineral P. Compared with the negative control groups, which were fed diets with 0.05% mineral P either during the whole rearing period or during the starting period only, phytase addition increased live weight by 4-7% and feed intake by 3-9% (Trials 1 and 2). Tibia values indicated that with low mineral P supplementations (0.05 and 0.10%), phytase additions have a non-significant effect on bone mineralization. If mineral P is not added, the tibia values show a marked response to phytase (Trial 3). Utilization of P increased from 50.9% to 60.0% when phytase (1000 PU/g) was added to the diets without mineral P supplementation (Trial 3). Utilization of P was only 34.5% in the positive control diet (0.3% mineral P). The results were obviously affected by the intrinsic phytase activity in grain and the dietary calcium level, and suggest that, in SBM-grain-based diets with very low (0.05%) or no mineral P supplementation, weight gain can be increased by adding phytase up to 1000 PU/g. This supplemented phytase activity is apparently sufficient for adequate bone mineralization.

A total of 192, 14 days old as hatched broilers were fed ad libitum up to 56 days of age, on a control diet with 12% fish meal (FM) and 3 test diets; shrimp waste (SW) and/or marine waste (MW) and equal mixture of SW and MW completely replace dietary FM to have their effects on performance. Live weight and feed conversion improved and feed intake depleted on test diets than that on control. The test diets did not affect survivability of broilers. Complete replacement of FM by SW and/or MW reduced feed cost and production cost with increased profitability of raising broilers. Meat yield decreased on test SM and MW diets, but equal mixture of SM and MW, gave similar meat yield to that on control. It was concluded that equal mixture of SM and MW might be better, economic and efficient substitute of FM.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v40i1-2.10785Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2011. 40 (1-2): 18-22

In experiments on broiler chickens of the SGC “Smena” selection, it was found that the partial replacement of fish meal with an additive based on a protein of microbial origin, containing 68.3% of crude protein, allows to provide a live weight of chickens comparable to the control with high poultry safety, due to good protein digestibility and availability of amino acids. A comprehensive assessment of the productivity of broilers according to the productivity index showed that the replacement of 50% of fish meal with microbial protein contributed to an increase in the productivity index of chickens of the second group by 4.78 points in comparison with the control. The complete replacement of fish meal in the third experimental group was less effective, as evidenced by a decrease in the productivity index to 303.91 points compared to 308.73 in the control. It is shown that the introduction of a protein supplement into the feed for broiler chickens in Analysis of the chemical composition of the liver of 35-day-old broilers showed that the protein content in the liver of chickens of the second and third groups was higher than the control by 1.99 and 0.58%, while there was no increase in the fat content in the groups with a protein supplement. The crude fat content was at the level of 11.38 and 12.20% versus 13.0% in the control, which indirectly indicates the absence of a cytotoxic effect on liver cells from the use of microbial protein in the studied dosages.

Cassava Peel

The use of cassava peel meal (CPM) in broiler diets is not popular due to its negative effects. Hence an experiment was conducted to determine its dietary effect when fortified with Calapogonium mucunoides. One hundred and forty-four (144) one day-old Hubbard chicks were used. There were six dietary treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6) containing 24 birds each. Each treatment was replicated three times with 8 birds each on completely randomized design (CRD). T1 was the control diet containing no CPM. Treatments 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 contained CPM fortified with 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% C. mucunoides respectively. The CPM was fortified by substituting it for equal amount of C. mucunoides, mixed, ground, dried and sieved. Starter phase lasted for 28 days and finisher phase 21 days. The birds were fed and water given ad libitum for 49 days. At the starter phase fortified and non-fortified CPM did not improve performance compared to the control treatment. Non-fortified, 10% and 40% fortified CPM reduced live weight and feed intake. However, 20 and 30% C. mucunoides fortified CPM improved these parameters compared to the non-fortified group. Feed: gain ratio and protein efficiency ratio of the control and 20% fortified treatment were similar (P>0.05). Except protein efficiency ratio which was improved by 20% over the control treatment, fortification did not improve performance at the finisher phase. Live weight was better in 20% than in non-fortified. Feed and protein intakes were similar in non-fortified and fortified CPM. It was concluded that fortification of CPM with 20% Calapogonium mucunoides improved protein efficiency in broiler chickens.
