“…The similarity in values of feed consumption at the finisher phase could be due to the fact that at this phase birds needed higher energy level and can tolerate higher fibre levels and anti-nutritional factors in feeds. This observation is in agreement with that of Abeke et al (2011), who stated that birds eat to meet their energy requirements. Mature birds need a higher energy level in their diets than young chicks (Nsa et al, 2013).…”

“…Sand box seed meal is said to be high in non-starch polysaccharides and fibre contents (Nsa et al, 2018). Abeke et al (2011); Ani et al (2010) have all ascertained that enzyme supplementation in fibre causes laxative effect on dietary fibre and enhances a less viscous digesta leading to improved digestion hence improved feed utilization and subsequent growth performance. At the finisher phase, birds fed sand box seed meal supplemented with enzyme had the same numerical values for final live weight (FLW), daily weight gain (DWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein intake (PI) with birds on the control diet.…”

This study examined the growth performance, carcass and blood characteristics of broiler chickens fed sand box seed meal - based diets supplemented with or without enzyme (Allzyme®Vegpro5X). A total of 240 unsexed day - old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design experiment. There were four replicates of 20 birds each. The three experimental diets were formulated such that the control diet (T1) had neither sand box seed meal nor enzyme, while soybean meal was replaced with sand box seed meal (100%) without enzyme (T2) and soybean bean meal replaced with sand box seed meal (SBSM) supplemented with enzyme (1g/kg of feed) (T3) for both starter and finisher diets. Performance parameters were monitored during the feeding trial. Results at the starter phase showed significant (p<0.05) differences in feed intake. At the finisher phase feed intake values showed non-significant (p>0.05) differences. The final live weight (FLW), daily weight gain (DWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) all tended to significantly (p<0.05) increase in birds fed control diets. Nutrient retention values for all the parameters were significantly (p<0.05) lower with birds on SBSM - based diet without enzyme, while those of the control and SBSM - based diets with enzyme were numerically similar and significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of birds on SBSM - based diets without enzyme. The cost of feed per Kg live weight gain (N) was lower for birds on SBSM - based diet supplemented with enzyme. Result of haematological parameters were significantly different (p<0.05) across dietary treatments for white blood cell counts (WBCs), lymphocytes, red blood cell counts (RBCs), haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH). Furthermore, all serum biochemical indices except total protein and bicarbonates showed significant (p<0.05) differences between dietary treatments. This study concluded that it is cheaper to produce one kilogram of broiler birds by replacing soybean meal with sand box seed meal supplemented with Allzyme®Vegpro5X without any adverse effects on the growth performance, carcass quality, nutrient retention and blood characteristics of broiler chickens.

“…Whereas in their study weight gain decreased in nonenzyme supplemented high fibre diets, in this study the decrease was observed after the 5% level of inclusion of rice offal suggesting that to a point, the exogenous enzyme helped the birds to utilize the nutrients in the feed.Feed conversion ratio and feed cost/kg gain were significantly better for birds on the control, on 5 and on 10% level of inclusion than on the 15% level of inclusion suggesting some improvement in the utilization of nutrients by the broilers. Similar result has been published by Abeke et al (2011). The poorer ability of birds on the 15% level of inclusion of rice offal to convert the diets to flesh compared to the control and the other diets maybe due to incomplete break down of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in the fibre contained in rice offal.by exogenous enzymes.…”

A feeding trial of six weeks was conducted to determine the effect of including rice offal supplemented with natuzyme on the performance of broilers. One hundred and seventy two 2 –week old broilers of mixed sexes were randomly allocated to four diets in a completely randomized design. The broiler chicks were allocated one of four diets containing either 0 (control), 5, 10, or 15% of rice offal. The starter diets were isonitrogenous (25% CP) but decreased in energy levels from 2,779.32 (Diet A), 2,747.73 (Diet B), 2,715.54 (Diet C) to 2,683.54kcal/kg ME (Diet D). The finisher diets were also isonitrogenous at 21% CP with each diet replicated three times. The energy levels of the finisher diet decreased from 2801.67 (diet A) to 2703.22 kcal/kg ME (diet D). The energy levels on diets B (2768.72) and C (2736.18) were higher than on diet D. All diets containing rice offal were supplemented with natuzyme at 100g/100kg feed. Overall result showed that feed intake was significantly lower (p<0.05) on the control (117.38g/bird/day) than on diets B (123.57), C (125.24) and D (123.97g/bird/day). Weight gain was significantly higher (p<0.05) on diet B (57.64g/bird) than on diets C (50.77) and D (46.88g/bird) respectively. Water intake was significantly lower (p<0.05) on the control (204.60mL/bird) than on diets B (240.44), C (231.86) and D (225.73mL/bird), respectively. Feed conversion ratio was significantly better (p<0.05) on diets A (2.36), B (2.23) and C (2.68) than on diet D (3.06) only. Feed cost/kg gain was significantly (p<0.05) better on diet A (N532.65) than on diets B (N666.75) and C (N688.92) only. Initial weight did not differ significantly across the diets but final weight was better (p<0.05) on diet B (2644.40g/bird) than on the control and other rice offal diets. Even though the control diet had lower feed intake, birds on diet B had better weight gain, feed conversion ratio, feed cost/gain and final body weight than the control and other rice offal diets and is therefore, recommended. This is because rice offal based diet on diet B has a cost saving of 8.33% over the control diet.

The study was conducted to determine the extent of the effect of sexual dimorphism on the body weight and linear traits of Arbor Acre chickens. Hundred-day-old Arbor Acre broiler chicks comprising fifty-two males and forty-eight females were used in this study. Day-old birds were winged tagged and were given feed and water ad libitum. Bi-weekly body weight and linear body measurements, namely, wing length, shank length, thigh length, comb length, back length, breast girth and keel length were measured. In addition, the heritability and repeatability of the measured traits were estimated. The results showed that body weight increased as age increased with male chickens having the superior final weight at 8 weeks over their female counterpart. Among the linear body measurement, shank length increased at a rapid rate more than other linear body traits followed by the back length and keel length. The heritability and repeatability estimates ranged from moderate during the early growth phase to high during the later growth phase of 5 and 8 weeks. The study concludes that male Arbor Acre male chickens attained higher weight than the females after eight weeks of growth. Similarly, shank length and back length were good linear body measurements for predicting body weight for selection purposes.
