“…There were significant (P < 0.05) higher in the values of total protein, (TP), Alanine Transaminase (ALT), Alkaline phosphate (ALP), Aspartate Transaminase (AST), cholesterol, albumin and creatine among dietary treatments. The variations in the serum biochemical indices of broiler chickens fed graded levels of Sesamum indicum were in line with the earlier findings of [28,34]. The recorded variations in serum total protein stemmed from the different rate of protein metabolism and utilization by the birds.…”

Introduction: Various types of feed additives have been evaluated under commercial conditions and in experimental trials with the aim to achieve improvements on growth performance and the best economic return. Herbs, including Sesame indicum leaves, spices and various plant extracts/essential oils can be used as alternatives to replace antibiotic growth promoters as they are rich in phytochemicals (active compounds) that can be used to stimulate growth and health of the animals. The uses of all these herbs should be studied in relation to the blood and serum indices of the animals in order to determine their harmful level of consuming them by the animals. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine the effect of different dietary inclusion levels of Sesame indicum leaves on haematology and serum parameters of broiler chickens at both starter and finisher phases. Methods: A total of one hundred and fifty 1-day old, unsexed (Marshal) broiler chicks were randomly divided into five experimental groups at rate of 30 birds per group. Each group was further subdivided into three replicates at the rate of ten chicks per replicate in a Complete Randomized Design. A maize-soybean basal diet served as control while the Sesame indicum leaves was added to the basal diets at level (0g, 10g, 20g, 30g and 40g/kg) resulting in five formulae, respectively. At the end of the 4th and 8th weeks respectively, six birds were randomly selected from each of the replicate and blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of birds for haematology and serum. Results: The results indicated that all the haematology and serum parameters were significantly (p < 0.05) affected by the different inclusion levels of S. indicum leaves but the value obtained were within the recommended range while birds fed with the diet containing 40g/kg of S. indicum leaves had the highest values. Conclusion: Inclusion of S. indicum leaves in the diets appear not to have detrimental effect on the haematology and serum parameters of the experimental birds. The study recommended that 40g/kg inclusion level be adopted as it improved growth performance and general well-being of broiler chickens.

“…HB is usually transported in the RBC, and RBC together with WBC constitutes the major part of blood in animals, which helps to determine the health status of animals. The values reported in this study are similar to the values reported by Banerjee (1998) and Yakubu and Alfred (2014). A highly significant value of WBC with increased levels of BSC substitution (25%-100% substitution) may be due to increased secretion of cells in the blood due to increased levels of anti-nutritional factors (phytate) found in the BSC based diets.…”

“…Yakubu and Alfred (2014) reported the effect of whole toasted white sesame seed meal used as source of methionine in finisher broilers, while Diarra and Usman (2008) and Agbulu et al (2010) reported the effects of soaked beniseed seed meal and full beniseed meal in supplementing synthetic methionine in laying hens and broilers respectively. Generally, a number of authors had reported on the effects of BSC on broilers or layers (Tangtaweewipat and Cheva-Isarakul, 1993;Mamputu and Buhr, 1995;Farran et al, 2000;Yamauchi et al, 2006;Rao et al, 2008;Mahmoud et al, 2015) .…”

Due to competition between humans, industry and livestock for crop usage, there is need to identify alternative plant protein sources readily available and inexpensive. Beniseed (Sesamum indicum L.) cake is considered to replace soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) meal as plant protein source for animal feed. This study was conducted to evaluate substitution effects of Nigerian white beniseed cake (BSC) for soybean cake (SBM) in diets of broilers, and determine optimum substitution levels. Replacement levels of BSC for SBM in diets were 0%, 25%, 75%, and 100%. A 56-d feeding trial was conducted on 264-d old unsexed Cobb broilers, randomly assigned to four treatment groups of 66 birds each, with three replicates of 22 birds each in a completely randomized design. A quadratic type optimization function was used to determine optimum BSC levels that significantly affected growth, carcass and blood indices. Diets 100% BSC had the least body weight at 28 d, final body weight, average daily feed intake (ADFI), and carcass weight (P < 0.05). Diets with 25%, 75% and 100% BSC had higher efficiency factor, abdominal fats and white blood corpuscles than 0% substitution diet (P < 0.05). Diet 25% BSC showed significantly higher dressing percentage (P < 0.05), and diet 0% BSC had higher serum protein and urea compared to the other diets. The quadratic function indicated that ADFI was significantly optimized at 25% BSC+75% SBM, with R 2 = 0.992 and P-value 0.051. The threshold of 25% to 75% substitution levels of BSC can replace SBM in the diets of Cobb broilers without detrimental effects.
