“…In a 90-day trial Smith and Fries (1973) found that cows fed a poultry excreta concentrate consumed less maize silage and concentrate dry matter, gained less weight and produced less milk than cows fed a control concentrate. Lower milk productions by cows on DPM diets have also been reported by Kneale and Garstang (1975), Kristensen et al (1976), Silva et al (1976) andSmith et al (1976). The lower milk production was due primarily to lower consumption of feed and the lower energy value of rations containing DPM (Appendix 2).…”

The study investigated the utilisation of dried poultry manure as a protein source for lactating cows and its influence on the blood metabolic profile and rumen fermentation. Two consecutive feeding trials were carried out for the comparison of dried poultry manure (DPM) 20 %, soybean meal (SBM) 10 % and urea 1.5 % as protein supplement in a concentrate mixture. Eighteen cows were used in each of the two experiments. The experimental period was 13 weeks in Expt. 1 and 15 weeks in Expt. 2. The apparent DM digestibilities of the DPM, SBM and UREA rations were 69.9, 72.0 and 74.0 % (P < 0.05) and crude protein digestibilities were 72.0, 71.8 and 76.0 % (P < 0.01). The FU-value of the DPM ration was lower (P < 0.01) than the SBM and UREA rations. The palatability of the concentrate including DPM was depressed (P < 0.05). The differences in milk yield and milk constituents between groups were not statistically significant. Feed utilisation was equal in Expt. 1 0.37 FU/kg FCM but in Expt. 2 value of 0.39 for the DPM group was lower than 0.45 for the SBM or 0,43 for the UREA group (P < 0.05). The values obtained in hematological and blood chemical analyses were within normal ranges. The blood metabolic parameters indicate that DPM can be used as feed for dairy cows without any detrimental effect on health. The rumen fermentation was investigated with rumen fistulated cows in two experiments. With a constant feeding level and the DPM inclusion adjusted to 0, 10, 20 and 40 % of concentrate mixture, the rumen fluid ammonia-N increased with the increasing amount of DPM in the diet (P < 0.05). The NH3-N concentration was still lower (P < 0.05) in the isonitrogenous SBM diet. Furthermore, with increasing DPM inclusion the molar percentage of acetic acid of the total volatile fatty acids increased (P < 0.05), the percentages of propionic acid and butyric acid decreased. The total volume of microbial mass was 10—20 % higher with the SBM diet than the various DPM diets.

“…While there is little direct evidence on selection of components in complete diets, the successful use of a wide variety of feeds indicates one advantage of the system. In the US, waste paper (Kesler et al, 1967), citrus pulp (Wing, 1975), alkali-treated maize cobs (Soper et al, 1977), dried poultry waste (Silva et al, 1976) and rapeseed meal (Laarveld and Christensen, 1976) have been successfully used in complete diets. In the UK, Owen (1976) reported satisfactory results from a complete diet containing 21% distillers grains and MAFF (1977) reported the successful inclusion of byproducts such as sugar-beet pulp, biscuit meal, potato crisp waste and malt culms.…”

In this study, ensiling of poultry manure with some tropical forages was investigated as a management option for poultry wastes. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia cassipes) and Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) were ensiled with caged layer excreta (CLE) to enhance the nutritional value of the resultant fodder. Levels of CLE inclusion investigated ranged from 0% (control) to 50% (fresh weight basis). The pH, ammonia, and lactic and acetic acid contents of the resultant silage were determined at 15, 30, 45, and 60 days after ensiling. Low dry matter losses and increases in protein content with CLE additions were observed. Crude protein recoveries with 10, 30, and 50% CLE additions were 107, 126, and 99% for grass and 113, 107, and 111% for water hyacinth silages, respectively. In all silages, higher levels of acetic acid suggest that acetic acid rather than lactic acid is the main preservative in tropical forages. The introduction of manure-based silages will result in substantial reduction in the cost of feed and subsequently render livestock production more profitable. Use of weeds especially water hyacinth could reduce the nuisance it poses to waterways and water bodies. INTRODUCTIONThe livestock farmer is constantly faced with the problem of manure management. Tremendous quantities of manure are produced each day and its disposal is hampered by its shear volume and in some cases lack of land on which it
