Cassava Leaf Meal as a Replacement for Coconut Oil Meat in Broiler Diets

Growth Performance Meat Yield and Profitability of Broiler Chickens Fed Diets Incorporating Cassava Tuber Meal

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) 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 througho...

Nutritional Evaluation of a High-Oil Sunflower Meal in Broiler Starter Diets

Two experiments were conducted with broiler chicks to determine the nutritive value of highoil sunflower meal (HO-SFM), a sunflower oil extraction by-product obtained through screw-press extraction and expanding processes with a proximate composition of 32% CP, 12% crude fiber, and 19% ether extract. In Experiment 1, the effects of a high level (46.4%) of HO-SFM on chick performance and gastroi...

Evaluation of Sesame Meal Replacement in Broiler Diets with Phytase and Probiotic Supplementation

1 Two trials were conducted to evaluate sesame seed meal (SSM) replacement of broiler diets ingredients. The 1 st trial included 5 major dietary treatments using 360 day old Ross commercial broilers: 1) Corn + soybean meal (SBM) "control diet"; 2) Corn + SSM; 3) Corn + [50% SBM + 50% SSM]; 4) Corn + [25% SBM + 75% SSM]; and 5) Corn + [75% SBM + 25% SSM]. Each treatment was then divided into 4 s...

Cholesterol and Malondialdehyde Contents of Broiler-Chicken Meat Supplemented with Indigofera zolingeriana Top Leaf Meal

This research aimed to increase functional value of broiler-chicken meat containing high antioxidant and low cholesterol through substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with Indigofera zollingeriana top leaf meal (ILM). The experiment used 160 day old broiler chicken (Cobb strain). The experimental chicken were provided dietary treatments when they were 15-days old (initial body weight of 460.5±1.56...
