Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of supplementing broiler diets fed to 6 wk of age, with 0, 10, 20 or 30% of commercially heated unextracted soybeans (T.I.A. 3.9 mg g−1). Birds fed soybeans consumed less feed in the 0- to 21-d starter period and this was associated with reduced weight gain (P < 0.05) and increased feed intake: weight gain (P < 0.05). There was a decrease in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and fat retention with feeding of soybeans and this effect was most pronounced with the 30% inclusion level. Diet ME was also reduced with increased use of soybeans (P < 0.05). However, there was a decrease in digesta and fecal soap concentration with an increase in dietary levels of heated ground soybeans (P < 0.01). While carcass weight followed a trend similar to that of weight gain (P < 0.01), there was no difference between treatments for percent carcass yield (P < 0.05). Soft fat depot areas were observed when soybean oil was the primary dietary fat. Fatty acid analysis of carcass fat confirms a high degree of unsaturation for birds fed 30% heated soybeans. However, this feature was not unduly objectionable nor did it affect carcass grading (P > 0.05). Key words: Heated soybeans, broiler performance, carcass quality

Dietary Treatments

The influence of insect protein origins on broiler chicken meat parameters were studied using 135 day old Arbor acre birds subjected to three dietary treatments: Diet A comprised of a standard feed of the brand name ‘vital feed’ containing fishmeal as the major protein source (control), while Diet B and Diet C contained insect meal from African palm weevil larvae (Rhynchophorus phoenicis), respectively, winged termite (Macrotermes bellicosus) as replacement for fishmeal. Forty five broiler chicks were randomly assigned to each of the dietary treatments at the rate of fifteen chicks per replicate making three replicates per treatment in a completely randomised design. The experiment lasted for eight weeks. During this period, the birds were housed in similar cages and subjected to similar husbandry and sanitation practices, such that the only source of variation was the dietary treatments. After eight weeks of the experiment, carcass quality and organ weight measurements were analysed using appropriate statistical analysis. The result obtained showed that the broiler chickens fed insect meals performed significantly (P<0.05) better in terms of live weight gain (2,200.85±64.23 g and 2,046±58.40 g for Diet B and Diet C) compared to control. Carcass quality relating to defeathered weight and eviscerated weight also followed a similar trend with Diet B (2,187.74±62.72 g and 1,788.93±70.70 g), Diet C (2,015.83±74.62 g and 1,466.97±100.05 g), and Diet A (control; 1,526.47±47.40 g and 1,240.30±64.53 g). The records of cut-up parts and organ weight measurements were also significantly different (P<0.05) for the birds on insect meal (Diet B and Diet C) than those on fishmeal based diet (Diet A). The result showed that insect meal can effectively serve as a major source of protein in poultry feed formulation.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of medicinal herbinclusion on fat deposition, chemical composition, amino acid and fatty acid ofbroiler meats. One hundred-sixty eight female broiler chickens aged 15 days were distributed into 7groups as follows: 1) broilers were fed a diet with no medicinal herb as the control (P0) 2) broilers were fed a diet with 5% Sauropus androgynus leaf powder (P1); 3) broilers were fed a diet with 5% bay leaf powder (P2); 4) broilers were fed a diet with 5% basil leaf powder (P3) 5) broilers were fed a diet with 5% papaya leaf powder (P4); 6) broilers were fed a diet with 5% Moringaleaf powder (P5) and; 7) broilers were fed a diet with 5% noni fruit powder. Experimental results showed that the inclusion of medicinal herbs significantly increased protein (P<0.01), iron(P<0.05), kalium, calcium, phosphorus, linolenic acid(P<0.01), methionine, omega 3 unsaturated fatty acid (P<0.05), but significantly reduced fat (P<0.01), glutamic acid, alanine, lignoceric acid, oleci acid (P<0.01) and omega 9 unsaturated fatty acid (P<0.05). It was concluded that Sauropus androgynus leaf was the most effectiveto produce low fat-high protein and mineral meats.
