“…This implies that the feather development process in broiler chickens was not affected by the incorporation of SOP in their diets. The live weights are comparable with 1.85 kg to 2.58 kg reported by [11] and higher than 1.03 kg to 1.25 kg reported by [18]. The dressing percentage value of 73.65 to 78.48% in this trial are higher than 66.19 to 69.76% [11] and 56.56 to 60.14% [15].…”

An experiment was conducted with one hundred and eighty (180) unsexed day old broiler chicks of Arbor acre strain to investigate the effect of feeding diets supplemented with water soaked sweet orange peel meal (SOP) on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicken. The broiler chickens were randomly distributed into six (6) dietary treatments of 30 birds per treatment which were further distributed into three (3) replicates of 10 birds per replicate from day old, in a completely randomized design. Six dietary treatments were formulated such that, T1 which is control was maize based. In diets 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, sweet orange peels replaced maize at various duration of water soaked, 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively and incorporated at 30% inclusion. Data were collected on feed intake and weekly weight gain. Six (6) birds were randomly selected per treatment starved over night, weighed and sacrificed by cervical dislocation for carcass analysis. Result reveals significant (p<0.05) difference in daily feed intake, there was no significant (p>0.05) difference on final weight and daily weight gain. The result of carcass characteristics showed no significant (p>0.05) difference in carcass cut and internal organs. It can be concluded that supplementing broiler diets with water soaked sweet orange peels had no detrimental effects on the performance and carcass characteristics.

“…Feed cost for any poultry enterprise in developing countries is on the increase [5]. According to Ogbonna and Ige [6] acute shortage and price of feed ingredients are responsible for the present rise in poultry feed. This situation has led to high cost of production and reduced return on investment.…”

Maize is a major source of energy in the diet of turkey. Increase in the cost of maize has been a major challenge to poultry farmers. Therefore, there is need to explore available and cheaper alternatives. A twenty-four weeks trial was conducted to investigate the effect of using different source of energy in turkey’s diets as alternative for maize on the growth performance and lipid profile. Four diets for both starter and finisher phase were used, control diet (maize as the energy source), sweet potato (SP), guinea corn (GC) and cassava (CA). 30-day-old-poults were randomly allocated into 4pens with at least 7poults per pen. Lipid profile, weekly body weight, daily feed intake, final weight gain and feed conversion ratio were recorded. The result revealed no significant difference in the final body weight of turkey when SP was used as alternative to maize at starter phase. At the finisher phase, there was a numerical increase in the final weight of turkeys fed SP diet when compared to GC and CA diet. No significant difference in the FCR was observed when SP and CA were used as alternative to maize. The total cholesterol (TC) value was not significant when SP was used as alternative to maize but there was a significant increase in TC value when CA and GC were used as alternative to maize. It can be concluded that sweet potato can be used as an alternative to maize without adverse effects on performance of turkey and its lipid profile.

“…Maize, a conventional dietary energy source is the most expensive ingredient in poultry feeds because of the quantity required for inclusion [1] which constitute about 50-70% of the total feed ingredients in broiler ration. Several attempts had therefore been made to reduce, maintain or regulate the cost of feed production by replacing part of the maize in diet with industrial byproducts and others [2].…”
