“…Weight gain of broiler chicks fed T5 is similar with those fed T1 and is significantly (p<0.05) higher than those fed T2, T3 and T4. This study agrees with findings of [27] who reported that body weight gain of broiler chicks fed locust bean seed meal fermented for 96 h and beyond were similar to chicks fed control diet. This revealed that a linear increase in fermentation period could enriched some unidentified growth factors in the starter test diet that stimulated growth of specific tissues.…”

A nutrient retention and growth performance study were conducted with broiler chicks to evaluate the effect of different duration of fermented baobab seed meal (FBSM). Fermented baobab (Adansonia digitata) seeds were ground and incorporated in the diets at 12% dietary level. Diet 1 (control diet) had no BSM. Diet 2 had unfermented BSM. Diets 3, 4 and 5 had baobab seed meal (BSM) fermented for 48 h, 72 h and 96 h, respectively. Two hundred and forty (240) Arbor Acre chicks at one-week old were weighed and distributed to these dietary treatments. The five (5) treatments were replicated four (4) times in a completely randomized design, with 12 birds per replicate (48 per treatment). The diets did not significantly (p>0.05) influenced Feed intake, final body weight, feed conversion ratio and protein intake across treatments. The body weight gain and protein efficiency ratio of the chicks fed 96 h fermented BSM were not significantly (p>0.05) different with those fed control diet but were significantly (p<0.05) higher than chicks of other treatment groups. Starter broiler chicks fed T4 had significantly (p<0.05) higher nutrient digestibility parameters across treatments, except for EE and CF that were highly digested by chicks fed T3 and T1 respectively. In conclusion the performance of broiler chicks fed 96 h FBSM competed favorably with those fed control diet, whereas, chicks placed on 72 h FBSM recorded better result of nutrient digestibility.

“…Decrease in Body Weight Gain observed in this study which may be due to high smell of LBSM in the diet. This assertion is in agreement with [42] who reported a decreased body weight gain for broiler finishers, as the level of lablab in their diet was increased. Similar observation was reported by [33] as the level of cooked African locust bean seed meal was increased to 30% there was decrease in the FBW and BWG of broiler finishers.…”

“…The result obtained agreed with findings of [45] who reported a significant difference (P<0.05) among broiler finishers fed crushed, boiled and fermented roselle seed (Hibiscus sabdariffa).However, the result disagreed with [33] who reported no significant difference (P>0.05) in the FCR of broiler finishers fed cooked African locust bean seed meal. Also, disagreed with the earlier work of [46] who reported no significant difference (P>0.05) among broiler finisher fed fermented Parkia biglobosa seed meal. The feed cost per kilogram gain followed the same trend of the starter with similar value but better for broiler fed 5% LBSM.…”

The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of feeding locust bean (Parkia Biglobosa) seed meal (LBSM) at graded levels on the performance of broilers. Two hundred and forty broilers were used which were randomly allotted to four treatment groups, each replicated four times in a completely randomized design. The diets contained 0% level of LBSM which served as the control, while other three diets contained 5, 10 and 15% levels of LBSM. The experiment lasted for 28days. Significant differences of (P<0.05) were observed in feed intake (g/b/d) water intake ml/b/d, final body weight (g/b), body weight gain (g/b) averaged daily gain (g/b/d) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). While no significant effect of locust bean seed meal (LBSM) in broilers diets provide effective mechanism for better performance. But live weight was significantly influenced (P<0.05) by LBSM. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine significant difference between treatment groups in term of performance parameters. Where significant difference existed, Duncan’s multiple range test was applied to separate the means. Data analysis was carried out using (SPSS (SPSS, 2013version 20.0).It is concluded that LBSM can be included in the diet of broilers at starter phase from 5-15% inclusion levels while at finisher phase, diets containing 10 and 15% level of inclusion would be used for better performance without any deleterious effect on the growth performance. It could be recommended that, diets containing 10 and 15% LBSM level of inclusion would be used for better performance and economic benefit with better feed conversion ratio.

“…Nitsan et al (1991) and Nir et al (1993) demonstrated that in fast-growing broilers, the percentage share of digestive organs decreases starting from 9 d of age, and the changes occur at a faster rate than in slow-growing birds. The share of digestive organs in total BW is also influenced by nutritional regimen (Amerach et al 2007;Obum, 2008). According to Shahin (2000), the weights of the heart, liver, and gizzard are highly correlated with BW in Pekin ducks, yet body growth rate and the growth rate of internal organs may differ widely.…”
