“…This could be due to the bulkiness of the PKC as compared to maize, the possibility of the fibre impeding digestibility of the diet [ 29 ], and the probable unpalatable nature of the diet [ 18 ]. Our result partly aligns with the observations made by [ 18 ],and [ 27 ], who reported a relatively lower feed intake in birds fed with a 20% PKC diet, in contrast to those fed 10% PKC and the control diet. No significant differences were however observed by [ 6 ],when broilers were fed 0 and 10% PKC levels.…”

“…[ 7 ] also found no significant differences in feed intake between 0%, 10%, and 20% PKC levels of non-enzyme supplemented diets at the finisher phase of their experiment. In contrast, the result of [ 27 ] showed that at the finisher stage, 20% PKC inclusion significantly lowered feed intake compared to that of 0% and 10% PKC counterparts. [ 40 ] showed that a 20% PKC without enzyme recorded a significantly higher feed intake compared to 0% and 10% PKC levels, but when the 20% PKC was incorporated with Maxigrain enzymes, the bird consumed significantly more feed than the 10% PKC and 20% PKC diets.…”

“…The carcases were de-feathered and eviscerated. The carcase was cut up into different portions [breast, back, thigh, drumstick, both wing, neck, and abdominal fat) according to the procedure described by [ 27 ],with some modifications made. The weights of the dressed carcase, carcase cuts and abdominal fat were expressed as a percentage of the fasted live weight as indicated below;…”

Non-conventional feeds help alleviate competition faced by the poultry industry as the prices of conventional poultry feed ingredients, are continually increasing. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of palm kernel cake (PKC) on the performance of Sasso X44 broiler chicks. Four hundred and fifty (450) unsexed 21-day-old broiler chicks of homogenous weight were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with six replicates having 15 birds per replicate. Diets comprised the control, PKC0 (basal broiler diet), PKC10 (10% PKC diet), PKC10 + E (10% PKC diet+ 0.05% enzyme), PKC20 (20% PKC diet) and PKC20 + E (20% PKC diet + 0.05% enzyme). Data were collected on feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and carcase parameters. Results revealed that birds in the PKC10 + E group obtained improved (p < 0.05) FCR compared to the control group at the grower phase. At the finisher phase, the PKC20 + E group consumed more feed (p < 0.05), which was significantly different from the other groups except for the PKC10 + E group. Average daily body weight gain was highest for birds fed PKC10 + E diet, which, was significantly different (p < 0.05) from birds fed PKC20 diet. The percent dressed weight was significantly superior [p < 0.05) for birds fed PKC10 + E and PKC10 relative to PKC20. Sasso broilers could therefore benefit from a diet partially replaced with 10% palm kernel cake incorporated with multi-blend enzyme.

“…The decline in these parameters as PBMC dietary inclusion increased could be as a result of the reduced digestibility of PBMC diets by the broilers. Although some previous studies indicated the depressive effect in live weight when fed with diet containing high fibre ingredients such as palm kernel cake [22,23], some relevant literatures manifestly indicated the use of palm kernel cake and brewer spent grain as protein supplements in manufactured feeds for monogastric animals with various degrees of processing (enzyme fortification, solid state fermentation, etc) [15,24,25,26].…”

Aims: To explore the possibility of utilizing bio-fermented industrial plant by-products (composite mixture of fermented palm kernel meal, brewers dried grains and molasses) as supplementary crude protein source in broiler production. Study Design: Two hundred and eighty-eight (288) day old birds were picked and randomized into six treatments in a completely randomize designed experiment. Place and Duration of Study: Research study was carried out at the Teaching & Research Farm of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti between June and September, 2016. Methodology: The composite of the palm kernel meal (PKM), brewer dried grains (BDG) and molasses were prepared using a ratio of 50 L of water to 25 kg of PKM, 25 kg of BDG and 2.5 L of molasses. The fermented composite of palm kernel meal, brewer dried grains and molasses (PBMC) was dried before incorporation into experimental diets as protein supplement at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35% inclusion levels in a completely randomized designed experiment. The control diet had no composite of PKM, BDG and molasses. At the end of the experiment, birds were randomly selected from the 6 treatments, weighed and sacrificed. After slaughtering, the carcasses were scalded at 55-60°C in water bath for 30 sec before de-feathering. The data collected were subjected to One Way Analysis of Variance using Minitab computer model (Version 16). The dressed chicks were eviscerated and some carcass cuts and weights of organs determined. Results: The live weight of broilers fed the diet 1 (control diet without PBMC) was statistically similar (P>0.05) to those obtained for broiler finisher birds fed 15, 20, 25 and 35% PBMC but significantly different (P<0.05) from broilers fed 30% PBMC, respectively. Similar results were obtained for the dressed and eviscerated weights. There were predominant similarities among the weights of the determined carcass cuts and internal organs. Conclusion: The use of PBMC can be safely practiced to further improve the utilization of PKM and BDG in poultry diets at a maximum inclusion level of 20%. This inclusion level supported carcass characteristics and standard weights of organs at the end of the finisher phase of broiler production.

“…However, the use of PKC as poultry feed is limited to about 15%. The broilers' performance was significantly reduced possibly due to high fibre content which reduces feed digestibility (Abidah and Nooraida 2017). Another aspect that limits the usage of PKC in monogastric animal diets is the presence of broken kernel shells (about 12%), which contributes to the fibre and lignin content of PKC (Roslan et al 2015).…”
