“…T2 had the highest value of 119.24 gm and T3 had the lowest value of 98.28 gm. These results are, however, lower than those observed by Chiroque et al [ 17 ] and Kerketta and Mishra [ 20 ], who recorded 272 ± 21.07 and 259.33 ± 17.49 gm for pearl and lavender at 14 weeks. This could be attributed to the birds’ age and genetic makeup.…”

Objective: This work examined the results of different dietary protein levels on indigenous Nigerian guinea fowl growth performance and carcass yield. Materials and Methods: One hundred and eight unsexed indigenous keets were randomly assigned to three treatments with experimental diets containing 22%, 24%, and 26% crude protein (CP) in a completely randomized design, with 3 replicates with 12 keets in each replicate. The parameters were measured, including proximate composition, feed intake, growth rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and carcass yield. Results: The birds fed diets containing 24% CP gained the most body weight at 619.83 gm and had the highest FCR of 3.45. The presence of CP had an impact that was significant (p < 0.05) on most carcass traits and prime cuts but not on gastrointestinal tract weight, head weight, dress percentage, or organ yield. Conclusion: The study concluded that the dietary CP level of 24% was optimal for body weight gain and carcass yield.

“…The average daily feed consumption of combined birds of the experience was 81.94 g / head / day, resulting in a total consumption of 6989.92 g / head / day compared to Kerketta and Mishra (2016) Actual losses over the entire period of the experience were 4%. Two cases of mortality were recorded in the 9 th and 10 th wee, due to mechanical accidents that caused bleeding in the internal organs, namely the liver, which, due to the onset of the fatty liver syndrome it becamed very brittle (Table 3).…”

Growing guinea-fowls is an area of less research activity, although meat and eggs from this species are increasingly sought by consumers around the world. In addition, there is a number of very valuable biological features that makes this sector such attractive. This paper deals with a study on the productive performance of the gray guinea fowl under controlled ambient conditions. The biological material consisted of 50 specimens of guinea-fowls, purchased from a producer in our country. Those guinea fowls were grown according to the species-specific technology, from one day to 77 days. The target indicators were body weight, weight gain, feed consumption and stockholding proportion, determined in accordance with the poultry research methodology. The data were statistically processed using the Anova (Analysis of variance) program. For the gray guinea fowl, the growing period has been divided into three stages of age, differentiated by the protein level of the feed. At the time of population, the body weight of birds was 28.09 ± 0.35 g, and on the day of slaughter (77th day), 1923.76 ± 18.29 g. This weight was achieved with a feed conversion index of 1: 3.64.The gray guinea fowl exhibits good organic resistance and ensures satisfactory meat production under conditions of optimal nutrient feeding.
