“…In this sense, essential fatty acids can improve nutrient absorption and results of Tesseraud et al (1999) showed that a higher absorption of lysine gradually increases breast weight compared to other muscles. However, we did not find an increase in breast yield (Table 3) with the new proposed feeds (LM and PSM) coinciding with other studies that using the inclusion levels of seeds and oils of LM and PSM in the diets of the birds did not find beneficial effects on breast yield and other edible portions (Shen et al, 2005;Pekel et al, 2009;Hajati et al, 2011;Mridula et al, 2015;Wafar et al, 2017), apparently related to the secondary metabolites and fiber levels in these seeds and their response on growth performance. Likewise, it was found that few researches have been done on the effect of these oilseeds (LM and PSM) in guinea fowl nutrition.…”

This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary inclusion with linseed and pumpkin seed meals on growth performance, carcass traits and breast meat fatty acids profile of helmeted guinea fowls. A total of 120 meat-type helmeted guinea fowl females of 12 weeks of age were fed with 0 (T0), 100 (T1) and 200 (T2) g/kg of linseed (LM) and pumpkin seed meals (PSM) for 56 days, in a completely randomized design with 10 replicates per treatment and four birds per replicate. The inclusion up to 200 g/kg of LM and PSM did not affect the livability, initial live weight and feed intake (p>0.05). However, final live weight and feed:gain ratio improved significantly (p<0.05). The T1 increased (p<0.05) the carcass yield and the T2 improved the breast weight and weight and yield of leg. Also, these experimental diets did not affect the carcass weight, breast yield and sensory quality of meat (p>0.05). The oleaginous seeds (LM and PSM) decreased (p<0.05) the mystic, palmitic and octadecanoic acids and the ω-6/ω-3 ratio, as well as increased the linoleic, α-linolenic, eicosapentanoic and docosahexanoic acids (p<0.05), but did not modify the concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids (p>0.05) and the eicosatrienoic and arachidonic acids in breast meat (p<0.05). It is recommended the inclusion of 100 g/kg of LM and PSM to improve the live weight, weight and yield of the edible portions and the essential fatty acids in breast meat of guinea fowl, without affecting the sensory quality of the meat.

“…Ahmed (2016) menyatakan bahwa ikan nila yang diberikan pakan dengan penambahan 10% tepung biji labu kuning memiliki pertumbuhan akhir yang lebih rendah sedangkan ikan nila yang diberikan pakan penambahan 40% tepung biji labu kuning memiliki pertumbuhan akhir yang lebih tinggi. Biji labu kuning merupakan sumber protein kasar yang baik dan dapat menggantikan tepung jagung dalam pakan hingga 20% karena penelitian ini tidak berdampak buruk pada organ internal (Wafar, 2017). Pakan yang terdiri dari protein nabati dapat menyebabkan retensi nitrogen yang lebih rendah karena pakan ini mengandung energi yang mudah dicerna yang penting untuk pertumbuhan otot (Fay, 2014).…”

Feed is the biggest component (50-70%) which causes an increase in production costs, to reduce feed production costs is to mix inexpensive and easily accessible natural feed with a high enough protein content. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of avocado (Persea americana M.) and pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata D.) seeds on the growth of nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.). The design used non-factorial RAL consisted of 4 treatments and 6 replications, namely P0 (control feed), P1 (40 grams of avocado seed feed + 40 grams of pumpkin seeds + 20 grams of mixed material), P2 (20 grams of avocado seed feed + 60 grams of pumpkin seeds + 20 grams of mixed ingredients) and P3 (60 grams of avocado seed feed + 20 grams of pumpkin seeds + 20 grams of mixed ingredients). Data analysis using ANOVA. The results showed that feeding increased the growth of tilapia. In tilapia, a very effective growth was found in P2 feed of 16.44 grams with a growth rate of 3.12% / day. The conclusion of the study indicated that there was an effect of the combination of avocado and pumpkin seeds on the growth of tilapia.

“…Alternative fodders intended for broiler production are divided to those rich in crude proteins and those rich in energy. PSC is an alternative fodder that has a potential to be a source of protein in poultry due to high levels of crude proteins (Wafar et al, 2017). Pumpkin seed cake (PSC) contains up to 500 g/kg of crude proteins and 70 g/kg of raw fibre.…”

The aim of the research was to determine the possibility of adding pumpkin seed cake (PSC) in feed mixtures for broiler chickens, as well as its influence on production and slaughter indicators. The experiment consisted of control and two experimental groups of broiler chickens fed for 6 weeks with feed mixtures containing different rates of PSC (0%, 7% and 14%, respectively). Statistically significantly higher body mass was determined in the E1 group compared to the E2 group (P<0.01) and in the E1 group compared to the C group (P<0.05).Regarding the percentage shares of different body parts in body weight, the C and E1 groups had statistically very significantly (P <0.01) higher values of wing shares compared to the E2 group. Regarding the skin color, L value was statically significantly (P<0.05) higher in the C group, compared to the E1 group. From all of the above, it is to conclude that PSC in the rate of 7% in fodder mixtures can be recommended for feeding broilers in the period from the 1st until the 42nd day of age, with a potential to improve production and slaughter indicators.
