A 42- day experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of grower rabbits fed cooked sunflower seed meal (SFSM) supplemented with enzyme on nutrient digestibility and blood parameters using 72 growing rabbits. Nine diets namely T1 to T9 were compounded to be isocaloric (2500 kcal/kg, ME) and isonitrogenous (15%) with treatments T1, T2 and T3 having 0% inclusion rate of SFS meal and 0PPM, 150PPM and 250PPM of the enzyme supplementation. Treatments T4 to T6 and T7 to T9 had 10 and 20% levels of SFS meal inclusion rate respectively but maintaining same levels of enzyme supplementation as in T1 to T3. This arrangement translated to T1, T4 and T7 serving as the control diets for T2 and T3, T5 and T6 and T8 to T9, respectively. The rabbits were allotted to the three levels of SFS meal (0,10 and 20%) and three levels of enzyme supplementation (0,150, and 250PPM) in a 3x3 factorial arrangement of a completely randomized design (CRD) to produce nine treatment diets. The treatments were replicated four times. Crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre and cellulose were significantly (P<0.05) higher in rabbit fed 20% (84.58%, 72.24%, 67.16% and 64.27%) SFS diet than 0% (64.20%, 66.68%, 59.40% and 57.81%) and 10% (76.88%, 70.63%, 64.04% and 61.90%) respectively. Enzyme supplementation significantly (P<0.05) improved RBC, the values increased from 5.23 x1012/l for non-enzyme supplementation to 5.38 -5.73 x1012/l. Red blood cell and was significantly (P<0.05) lower in rabbits fed T4 diet than the other groups. Similarly, haemoglobin (11.42 vs. 11.37 and 12.01 g/dl), cholesterol (3.83 vs. 4.33 and 4.31mmol/l) and triglyceride (0.95 vs. 1.16 and 1.03mmol/l) were improved (P<0.05) as the level of enzyme supplementation increased in the diets. In view of the significant improvement in nutrient digestibility and some of the blood parameters recorded, rabbit farmers can use the 150 PPM of the enzyme in SFS meal based diets without affecting the nutrient digestibility and health of the rabbits.   Une expérience de 42 jours a été menée pour évaluer la réponse de lapins en croissance nourris avec de la farine de graines de 'sunflower' cuite (le 'SFSM') supplémentée en enzyme sur la digestibilité des nutriments et les paramètres sanguins en utilisant 72 lapins en croissance. Neuf régimes à savoir T1 à T9 ont été composés pour être iso caloriques (2500 kcal / kg, ME) et iso nitrogènes (15%) avec les traitements T1, T2 et T3 ayant un taux d'inclusion de 0% de repas 'SFS' et '0PPM', 150PPM et 250PPM de la supplémentation enzymatique. Les traitements T4 à T6 et T7 à T9 avaient respectivement 10 et 20% de taux d'inclusion de repas SFS, mais conservaient les mêmes niveaux de supplémentation enzymatique que dans T1 à T3. Cet arrangement traduit en T1, T4 et T7 servant de régimes de contrôle pour T2 et T3, T5 et T6 et T8 à T9, respectivement. Les lapins ont été attribués aux trois niveaux de repas SFS (0,10 et 20%) et à trois niveaux de supplémentation enzymatique (0,150 et 250 PPM) dans un arrangement factoriel 3x3 d'une conception complètement randomisée (CRD) pour produire neuf régimes de traitement. Les traitements ont été répétés quatre fois : les fibres brutes, les fibres détergentes neutres, les fibres détergentes acides et la cellulose étaient significativement plus élevées (P <0,05) chez le lapin nourri à 20% (84,58%, 72,24%, 67,16% et 64,27%) régime 'SFS' que 0% (64,20%, 66,68%, 59,40% et 57,81%) et 10% (76,88%, 70,63%, 64,04% et 61,90%) respectivement. La supplémentation enzymatique a considérablement amélioré (P <0,05) les globules rouges, les valeurs ont augmenté de 5,23 x 1012 / l pour la supplémentation non enzymatique à 5,38 -5,73 x 1012 / l Les globules rouges étaient significativement (P <0,05) plus bas chez les lapins nourris au régime T4 que les autres groupes. De même, l'hémoglobine (11,42 vs 11,37 et 12,01 g / dl), le cholestérol (3,83 vs 4,33 et 4,31 mmol / l) et les triglycérides (0,95 vs 1,16 et 1,03 mmol / l) ont été améliorés (P <0,05) à mesure que le niveau de supplémentation enzymatique augmentait dans les régimes. A cause de l'amélioration significative de la digestibilité des nutriments et de certains des paramètres hématologiques enregistrés, les éleveurs de lapins peuvent utiliser les 150 PPM de l'enzyme dans les régimes à base de repas 'SFS' sans poser aucun problème à la digestibilité des nutriments et la santé des lapins.

Lu, H., Adedokun, S. A., Preynat, A., Legrand-Defretin, V., Geraert, P. A., Adeola, O. and Ajuwon, K. M. 2013. Impact of exogenous carbohydrases and phytase on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in broilers. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 93: 243–249. The effect of supplementing corn–soybean-based diets with Rovabio®Max AP, an exogenous enzyme mix with carbohydrase (xylanase and β-glucanase) and phytase activities to broiler chickens was evaluated. Male Ross 708 broilers were assigned to four diets: positive control (PC), negative control (NC), deficient in metabolizable energy (ME), crude protein (CP), calcium (Ca) and non-phytate phosphorus (nPP), relative to the PC, by 100 kcal kg−1, 5 g kg−1, 1.1 g kg−1and 1.6 g kg−1, respectively, in the starter and grower diets; and NC+Rovabio®at 0.05 or 0.075 g kg−1diet. Starter diets were fed from day 0 to day 21 and grower diets from day 22 to day 42. Body weight (BW) and body weight gain on days 22 and 42 were increased (P<0.05) by enzyme supplementation. Enzyme addition increased (P<0.05) feed intake from day 22 to day 42 and overall (day 0 to day 42). Gain to feed ratio (G:F) was significantly increased (P<0.05) with enzyme supplementation during both starter and grower phases. Enzyme addition increased (P<0.05) serum phosphorus (P) concentration on day 21. On day 42 enzyme supplementation increased (P<0.05) the apparent ileal digestibility of P, dry matter (DM), energy, and N. Addition of a combination of carbohydrases (xylanase and β-glucanase) and phytase to corn–soybean-based diets deficient in ME, CP, Ca and P resulted in a significant increase in growth performance and utilization of P, DM, energy and N in broiler chickens.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of fermented and toasted Albizia lebbeck seed meal (FTALSM), on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens at the starter and finisher phases. One hundred and fifty (150) day old chicks (Abo acres) were used for this study and were divided into five treatments (with three replicate each containing 10 birds) using a completely randomized design (CRD) for eight weeks. The treatments were five diets containing 0% (control), 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of fermented and toasted Albizia lebbeck seed meal (FTALSM), respectively and were tagged Diet 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The diets were formulated to be isocaloric and isonitrogenous. The feed intake at the starter phase was significantly higher (p<0.05) in Diets 3 and 4 which had 10 and 15% inclusion of FTALSM, respectively. Diets 2, 3 and 4 also differ significantly (p<0.05) in final body weight and total weight gained from the control diets. The results at the finisher phase indicated that, there were significant differences (P<0.05) in all the parameters measured except for mortality. Birds fed Diet 2 performed significantly better in weight gain (1453g) and feed intake (3087.25g) compared to the control group. Birds on the control and Diet 2 had similar feed efficiency, the values were however, better than those on the other treatments. The results of nutrient digestibility showed birds fed Diet 5 (20% FTALSM) recorded significantly (P<0.05) low digestibility values in all parameters measured. The results showed that fermentation and toasting reduced phytase, oxalate and cyanide by 41.87, 26.67 and 99.94 % respectively. It can be concluded therefore, that FTALSM can be included up to 15 % in broiler chickens starter diets and 5 % in the finisher diet for optimum growth performance.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of 45 minutes Boiled Mucuna Seed Meal (BMSM) on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broiler finisher chicks. In a four-week feeding trial, three hundred and fifteen (315),4-week old broiler chicks were  randomly allocated to five experimental treatment diets in a completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment was replicated thrice having twenty-one (21) birds per pen. Boiled Mucuna seed meal was prepared and fed in graded levels of 0.0% (control diet), 10.0%, 20.0%, 30.0%, and 40.0%BMSM. Feed and water were given to the birds ad libitum. The parameters measured and calculated include final weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed to gain ratio and feed cost per kilogram gain. Digestibility of dry matter, crude protein; crude fibre, ash, nitrogen free extract and ether extract were also determined. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that dietary levels of inclusion of BMSM had significant (P<0.05) effect on these parameters. The final weight, the weight gain and feed intake of the birds fed 0.0%, 10.0% and 20.0%BMSM were statistically (P>0.05) similar and significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of other treatments. Cost of feed per birds and feed cost per kilogram gain were lower for all BMSB diets.Digestibility of nutrients was better for the birds fed the control,10.0 and 20.0%BMSM based diets. It was concluded that inclusion of BMSM in the diets of broiler finisher chicks up to20% has no deleterious effect on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of the birds.     Cette étude a été réalisée pour évaluer l'effet de 45 minutes de farine de graines de Mucuna (le 'BMSM') bouillie sur la performance de croissance et la digestibilité des éléments nutritifs des poussins finisseurs de poulet à griller. Dans un teste d'alimentation de quatre semaines, trois cent quinze (315), poussins de poulet de griller de 4 semaines ont été aléatoirement attribués à cinq régimes expérimentaux de traitement dans une conception complètement randomisée (le 'CRD'). Chaque traitement a été reproduit trois fois avec vingt et un (21) oiseaux par enclos. Le repas bouilli de graine de Mucuna a été préparé et alimenté dans les niveaux classés de 0.0% (régime de contrôle), 10.0%, 20.0%, 30.0%, et 40.0%BMSM. L'alimentation et l'eau ont été données aux oiseaux ad libitum. Les paramètres mesurés et calculés comprennent le poids final, le gain de poids, la prise d'aliments pour animaux, le rapport alimentation/gain et le coût des aliments pour animaux par gain kilogramme. La digestibilité de la matière sèche, protéines brutes; des fibres brutes, des cendres, de l'extrait sans azote et de l'extrait d'éther ont également été déterminés. Les données recueillies ont fait l'objet d'une analyse de la variance (ANOVA). Les résultats ont montré que les niveaux diététiques d'inclusion de 'BMSM' ont eu un effet significatif (P<0.05) sur ces paramètres. Le poids final, le gain de poids et la prise d'alimentation des oiseaux nourris 0.0%, 10.0% et 20.0%BMSM étaient statistiquement (P>0.05) semblables et significativement (P<0.05) plus élevés que ceux des autres traitements. Le coût de l'alimentation animale par oiseau et le coût de l'alimentation par kilogramme étaient inférieurs pour tous les régimes BMSB. La digestibilité des éléments nutritifs était meilleure pour les oiseaux alimentés le contrôle,10.0 et 20.0% BMSM régimes à base. Il a été conclu que l'inclusion du BMSM dans l'alimentation des poussins finisseurs de poulet de gril jusqu'à 20 % n'a aucun effet délétère sur la performance de croissance et la digestibilité des oiseaux en matière d'éléments nutritifs.

The aim of this work was to study the continuous or intermittent impact of a multienzyme supplement on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and blood metabolites of broilers, and to evaluate production index of dietary supplementation. A total of 315 unsexed day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly distributed to seven treatments groups, keeping initial body weights similar, in 35-floor pens (replicates) of nine chicks per replicate (pen) and five experimental units per treatment. All experimental groups were fed the same basal diet and administered seven multienzyme treatments: the 1st group (control) did not receive any enzyme supplementation; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th groups were administered multienzymes at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mL/L drinking water, respectively. Each enzyme supplemented-group was divided into two subgroups, with additives being applied either continuously (24 h/day) or intermittently (12 h/day) from 1 to 35 days old. Regardless of administration method, multienzyme supplements at 1.0 mL/L water along with a corn-soybean meal diet increased the body weight gain (BWG) by 7.8% compared to 0.5 mL/L water during days 1–21 of age. In addition, 1.5 mL/L water significantly improved BWG by 5.1% of broilers compared to 0.5 mL/L water during days 1–35 of age. Enzyme supplementation at 1.5 mL/L water significantly enhanced feed conversion ratio (FCR) by 4.3% during days 1–21 of age, and FCR by 5.2% and European production index (EPI) by 10.4% during days 1–35 of age compared to the group on 0.5 mL/L water. For the whole period, there were improvements of beneficial consideration in BWG (4.0%), FCR (4.0%), and European production index (8.2%) due to continuous multienzyme supplementation at 0.5 mL/L water compared to the same dose added intermittently. A similar trend was observed due to intermittent multienzymes at 1 mL/L drinking water that resulted in increased BWG by (6.4%) and improved FCR by (6.7%) and EPI by (12.7%). Intermittent administration significantly increased feed intake of broilers during 22–35 days of age compared to continuous supplementation. Multienzymes at different doses did not significantly affect the digestibility of nutrients, blood serum biochemical constituent, inner body organs, and markers of functions of liver and renal organs. In conclusion, the highest BWG and the best FCR and EPI for the whole period were from broilers given continuous 1 and 1.5 mL/L drinking water or intermittent multienzyme supplementation at 1.5 mL/L drinking water. Furthermore, intermittent supplementation of enzymes at 1 mL/L drinking water and continuous supplementation at 0.5 mL/L drinking water can be investigated in further experiments as a tool to improve broiler growth performance and economic traits and to decrease the cost of enzyme application.

A nutrient retention and growth performance study were conducted with broiler chicks to evaluate the effect of different duration of fermented baobab seed meal (FBSM). Fermented baobab (Adansonia digitata) seeds were ground and incorporated in the diets at 12% dietary level. Diet 1 (control diet) had no BSM. Diet 2 had unfermented BSM. Diets 3, 4 and 5 had baobab seed meal (BSM) fermented for 48 h, 72 h and 96 h, respectively. Two hundred and forty (240) Arbor Acre chicks at one-week old were weighed and distributed to these dietary treatments. The five (5) treatments were replicated four (4) times in a completely randomized design, with 12 birds per replicate (48 per treatment). The diets did not significantly (p>0.05) influenced Feed intake, final body weight, feed conversion ratio and protein intake across treatments. The body weight gain and protein efficiency ratio of the chicks fed 96 h fermented BSM were not significantly (p>0.05) different with those fed control diet but were significantly (p<0.05) higher than chicks of other treatment groups. Starter broiler chicks fed T4 had significantly (p<0.05) higher nutrient digestibility parameters across treatments, except for EE and CF that were highly digested by chicks fed T3 and T1 respectively. In conclusion the performance of broiler chicks fed 96 h FBSM competed favorably with those fed control diet, whereas, chicks placed on 72 h FBSM recorded better result of nutrient digestibility.
