“…Besides, the differences between the two treatments were insignificant on the contrary, gizzard and giblets percentages figures showed significant differences between treatments, in which control group reflected the lowest figures compared with other dietary treatments T1-4 and the corresponding figures being 1.16 and 3.79%, while chickens fed T4 diet (100% GM) gave the highest figures, being 1.79 and 5.23, respectively, and the differences between treatments were significant. Similar observation was reported by other investigators, Muhammad et al (2002), Lee et al (2005), El-Faham et al (2017 and Khalifa et al (2017), they reported that adding GM to broiler diets had no significant effects on carcass treats. The et al Tammam obtained data are in disagreement with those reported by Kamaran et al (2002) and Mohayayee (2011) who showed that inclusion of GM in broiler chickens rations reflected a negative effect on carcass dressing%.…”

n experiment was conducted to determine the effect of partial or total switching soybean meal (SM) by Guar meal (GM) in broiler diets (started, grower, and finisher1) 7-35 days of age and feed all birds (SM) in (finisher2) diet 36-42 days of age on productive performance, carcass characteristics, and economical evaluation of broiler chicks. Five levels of GM representing [control (100% SM + 0.00% GM), T1= 87.5% SM+12.5% GM, T2=75% SM+25% GM, T3=50% SM+50% GM and T4=0.00% SM+100% GM] during starter (7-21 days), grower (22-28 days) and finsher1 (29-35 days) stages then all broiler chicks fed on finsher2 diets (36-42 days, 100% SM). 7 days-old 125 Ross broiler chicks (housed 5 birds/cage) were allotted into the five treatments, each containing 25 chicks in 5 replicates per treatment. Body weight (BW) and feed intake (FI) were recorded and body weight gain (BWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. Feed and water were supplied ad-libtum. At the end of experiment, 3 birds from each treatment were randomly selected and slaughtered for carcass measurements.The results showed that:• Body weight (BW), Body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI) linear decrease with increase GM concentration in diets during experimental period (7-42) days of age and, in turn, caused whole linear increase in feed conversion ratio (FCR) values. • Dietary supplementation of GM had no effects on the relative weight of carcass characteristics except gizzard% and giblets%. • Dietary supplementation of (GM) had significant effects on the figures of tibia and plasma parameters except Albumin and GOT. • Price of kg feed and feed intake cost liner decrease with increase GM concentration, however; relative economic efficiency (REE) was decreased with increasing the levels of GM in broiler diets. • Broiler chickens fed (87.5% SM+12.5%GM, T1) gave the best results of BW, BWG, FI, FCR and REE, without any adverse effect on carcass and bone traits and some blood plasma parameters. • Conclusion: Guar meal can be used as a replacement for soybean meal at level of (87.5% SM+12.5%GM) in broiler diets from (7-35) days then fed on (0.00 GM) up to 42 days of age for better performance, carcass characteristics and relative economic efficiency.

“…The economic value of guar meal can be regarded as a 'salvage' market (Conner, 2002). Although less palatable and potentially toxic, guar meal has a great potential as an alternative protein source for livestock and poultry, because of its high levels (nearly 59 to 60% crude protein (CP)) and less expensive (Couch et al, 1967;Humphrey et al, 2018;Kamran et al, 2002;Lee et al, 2005). Guar meal meets the criteria defined by Kim et al (2017) to be considered as an alternative feedstuff; however, it has not yet been adopted in the NRC (2012) database for swine.…”

Using alternative feedstuffs can be a feasible measure to reduce swine production cost. GuarPro F-71 (GP71), a newly developed guar meal product, is considered as a potential protein source for pigs. This preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the effects of GP71 inclusion in feed on growth performance and nutrient metabolism of growing pigs. Sixty crossbred barrows (31.9±1.84 kg body weight (BW)) were allotted to one of five dietary treatments in a completely randomised experiment design, with four pens/treatment and three pigs/pen. Diet 1 was a maize- and soybean-based basal control diet formulated to meet NRC recommendations. GP71 was used to replace 25, 50, 75, and 100% soybean meal in diet 1 (on an equivalent crude protein (CP) basis) to generate diets 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Crystalline amino acids were used to balance the essential amino acid concentrations across the five diets. Inclusion of GP71 quadratically reduced average daily feed intake (ADFI) (P=0.01) with no observed clinical signs of unhealthiness of pigs. The blood plasma concentrations of six metabolites, including urea nitrogen, total protein, albumin, glucose, total cholesterol and total triglycerides, were not affected (P>0.30), indicating that the pigs’ metabolic utilisation of nutrients was not compromised. The cubic effect (P<0.05) of dietary GP71 inclusion on G:F ratio suggested that the level of soybean meal replacement (up to 75% soybean meal) did not negatively affect feed efficiency in pigs. In short, the feed intake reduction due to the dietary GP71 inclusion was, if not solely, responsible for the average daily gain (ADG) and final BW reduction. This study suggested that using GP71 to replace soybean meal up to 75% (on an equivalent CP basis) can negatively affect ADFI and ADG, but not feed efficiency, in growing pigs. The reasons for the ADFI and ADG reduction need to be understood in future research.
