“…The significant decrease in the final weight gain and significant increase in FCR of turkeys fed with CA starter and finisher diet may be attributed to poor diets utilization caused by high fibre content as shown by the proximate analysis and possibly high load of hydrogen cyanide in cassava root meal (CRM). This agreed with earlier report of Hassan et al [32], Ukachukwu [33] and Akinfala [34], who recommended inclusion level of up to 25% CRM in poultry rations. Other workers [35,36] reported growth depression when CRM was added to poultry rations.…”

“…6 results, birds on T1 which is the control treatment without CSLM inclusion had the best and highest final body weight gain. There was a downward trend in weight gain as the level of CSLM increased in the diet; this could be attributed to the antinutritional factors in the test ingredients (Akinfala et al, 1999). The total feed intake decreased with increased levels of CSLM.…”
