Production performance of finisher broiler fed with cocoyam-corm meal as partial energy replacement for maize

Abstract: Aim:The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of Gabing San Fernando (Xanthosoma spp.) corms as partial carbohydrate replacement for maize in finisher broiler production.Materials and Methods:The completely randomized design was utilized to investigate the effects of three finisher poultry diets prepared in varying amounts of cocoyam-corm meal set at 0% (control), 25%, and 50% (experimental) replacement levels.Results:There were no significant differences (p≥0.05) as to mortality and body weigh… Show more

“…However, evidence on ultimate inclusion that resulted in a comparable result with commercial or corn-based diets was inconclusive. For example, 20% solidstate fermented taro tubers for growing pigs [10], 25% cocoyam-corms meal for finisher broilers [11], 40% taro tuberous meal for fattening pigs [12], and 30% cocoyam corms inclusion for finisher lambs [13] were reported. However, the ultimate indices of the physiological state of an animal are the growth performance and blood profiles [14][15][16].…”
