“…Feed intake, though significantly (P < 0.05) different among the treatments was adequate. This observed value range is comparable with 128-148 g observed by Iheukwumere et al [21] but higher than 103.97-110.49 g reported by Oyewole et al [22] for Nera black layers fed 48 h fermented SOPM based diets. This is an indication that SOPM inclusion did not affect the palatability of the diets adversely.…”

A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the performance, egg qualities, and hematology of layers fed diets containing sun-dried sweet orange peel meal (SOPM). A total of 140 Isa brown point of lay birds, aged 20 weeks were used for the experiment. SOPM was incorporated to replace 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% maize. The birds were randomly assigned to the diets in a Completely Randomized Design; each diet group had 28 birds and 4 replicates with each replicate having 7 birds. Observed results showed that SOPM did not significantly (NS) (p>0.05) affect final weight and egg number. However, weight change, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, mortality, cost of 1 kg feed, and cost of feed consumed were significantly different (P < 0.05) among treatments. Egg weight and egg length were significantly (P < 0.05) different, which ranged from 56.18 to 58.73 g and 3.74-4.17 cm, respectively. Shell thickness and egg width were NS (P > 0.05) influenced, and ranged from 0.80 to 0.84 and 2.63-2.71 cm, respectively. Internal egg parameters, i.e., yolk width, yolk height, albumin weight, albumin length, and yolk index were significantly (P < 0.05) affected. Hematological profile (packed cell volume, hemoglobin, white blood cell, red blood cell, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration, lymphocyte, and neutrophil) of birds showed significant differences (P < 0.05). The study revealed that SOPM did not have an adverse effect on the performance of layers even at 40% replacement of maize while in lay. Its inclusion decreased the cost of feed linearly, did not compromise external and internal qualities of eggs or the health of the birds.

“…The different results obtained by the various authors may be attributed to genetic diversity of the populations, age and size of hens used to produce the experimental birds and the prevailing environmental conditions especially ambient temperatures. It is an established fact that egg weights are positively correlated with hatching weights and age of hen at lay (Van den Brand et al 2004;Saatci et al 2005;Ojedapo et al 2008). In this study, diurnal ambient temperature variations were wide and the hens were of various ages.…”

The influence of major genes for crested-head (Cr), frizzle-feather (Fr) and naked-neck (Na) on body weights and growth patterns of indigenous chickens reared intensively was investigated and compared with normal-feather (na) gene. Birds were individually weighed at hatch and every two weeks up to 30 weeks of age. Growth patterns were modelled using the Gompertz-Laird function. The genes influenced body weights and growth patterns at various ages. The Cr gene had significant (P < 0.05) negative effects on body weights (between 52.2 g and 112.3 g) from 18 weeks onwards and low absolute growth rate from 10 to 22 weeks than na, but higher initial specific growth and maturation rates than the Na gene. The Fr gene had significant negative effects on body weights (between 28.2 g and 75.1 g) from 8 to 16 weeks than na, but a higher relative growth rate than Cr from 12 to 16 weeks. The Na gene had significant negative effects on body weights (between 24.7 g and 134.6 g) from 8 weeks onwards than na. It was concluded that Frfr and Nana genotypes are not ideal for cool environments in Kenya and indigenous chicken genotypes have varied growth potentials and patterns that can be improved to increase production.

“…Transaksi jual beli ternak di Jawa Tengah masih dilakukan dengan sistem pendugaan BB tanpa menimbang, sehingga banyak peternak yang rugi karena kesalahan pendugaan bobot badan (Basbeth, 2015). Penelitian mengenai pendugaan BB menggunakan ukuranukuran tubuh sudah banyak dilakukan pada beberapa jenis ternak seperti pada sapi (Ozkaya dan Bozkurt, 2009;Paputungan et al, 2013), kerbau (Paul dan Das, 2012), kuda (Takaendengan et al, 2012, kambing (Ojedapo et al, 2007; Bello dan Adama, 2012) dan domba (Birteeb dan Ozoje, 2012;Mahmud et al, 2014) dan domba Wonosobo jantan (Trisnawanto et al, 2012).…”

Penelitian bertujuan untuk menduga bobot badan domba Wonosobo menggunakan ukuran-ukuran tubuh (lingkar dada, tinggi pundak dan panjang badan). Domba Wonosobo sebanyak 273 ekor yang terdiri dari 118 ekor domba jantan dan 155 ekor domba betina dikelompokkan menjadi 6 kelompok umur (0-6 bulan, 7-11 bulan, 1-1,5 tahun, 1,75-2 tahun, 2,5-3 tahun dan 3-4 tahun). Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan proc stepwise (SAS versi 6,12). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan lingkar dada dan panjang badan merupakan variabel yang sangat penting dalam menduga bobot badan domba Wonosobo. Lingkar dada dan panjang badan mempunyai kontribusi sebesar 90,97% dan 76,09% terhadap perubahan bobot badan domba jantan dan betina. Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah lingkar dada dan panjang badan dapat digunakan untuk menduga bobot badan domba Wonosobo.Kata kunci : Bobot badan, Domba Wonosobo, Ukuran-ukuran tubuh.
