“…There was no significant difference (P>0.05) between broiler chickens on T3 and T2 in average daily weight gain. The values for average daily weight gain in this study were higher than the range of 40.30 to 44.28 g reported by Iheukwumere et al (2008) for broiler chickens fed raw and processed soya bead seed meal.…”

“…Average daily feed intake increased as the treatment levels increased. The values for average daily feed intake in this study were higher than the range of 96.41 to 102.40 g reported by Iheukwumere et al (2008) for broiler chickens. Broiler chickens on T4 recorded the highest value of 39.49 kg in average total feed intake and this differed significantly (P<0.05) from broiler chickens on T1 which were similar (P>0.05) to those on T2 in average total feed intake.…”

Ninety-six (96) CHI broiler chickens aged 4 weeks were used to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on growth performance and serum biochemical parameters. The 96 broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 4 treatment groups, identified as T1, T2, T3 and T4. Each treatment group consisted of 24 birds replicated 3 times with 8 birds per replicate in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four levels of Moringa leaf meal as treatments. The levels of Moringa leaf meal were 0.00%, 6.00%, 8.00% and 10.00%. Treatment one (T1) which contained no Moringa leaf meal served as the control. The birds in each treatment group were randomly assigned to Moringa leaf meal for 28 days. The birds were fed twice daily, morning and evening. Water was given ad libitum to the birds. The results showed that there were significant differences (P< 0.05) among the treatment groups in final body weight, average daily weight gain, average total weight gain, average total feed intake, average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio. However, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) among the treatment groups in initial body weight. The results further showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) among the treatment groups in all the serum biochemical parameters measured: urea, cholesterol, glucose and calcium except Aspartate transaminase which was similar (P>0.05) among the treatment groups. The results of this study indicate that Moringa oleifera leaf meal enhanced growth performance: weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio, in the treated birds compared to the control group with the best result at 8.00% inclusion level. Feeding the birds with MOLM brought about changes in the serum biochemical parameters but without any deleterious effect on them.

“…The domestic rabbit, thanks to its small size, high prolificacy, its rapid growth and low cost of production, is one of the alternatives that can effectively contribute to increasing the available animal protein [3,4]. Since local population of rabbits are products of indiscriminate breeding, some developing minds assumed that rabbit development in the tropics could come from cross breeding exotic breeds with local ones.…”

A study was conducted at the Nazareth Agro Pastoral Training Centre in Bamenda, Cameroon to determine the effect of weaning age on the survival rate and growth performances of rabbits kept in the Western Highlands of Cameroon. The research lasted for five months starting from April to August 2014 and aiming at looking for the appropriate age of weaning rabbit kits. Live weight and solid feed intake were recorded after every seven days depending on the kindling date of each doe to determine their increase in weight. The litter size, still birth, mortality and weaning age were monitored for all the kits. The rabbits were weighed pre-kindling and on the day of kindling with their kits. The mortality rate was registered as well as the feed consumed during this period. Doe selection was done based on live body weight. The does were grouped into three groups: one
