“…The trend observed for these important indices of carcass composition was considered as an indication of the superior quality of the 0 %, 5 % and 10 % RASAKM diets over the 15 % RASAKM diet. The mean value for the carcass yield (65.95 to 69.05 %) in this study was higher than 46.86 to 51.55% reported for rabbits fed cassava root meal by Eshiet et al (1980) and 47.17 to 51.77 % for rabbits fed sorghum offal based diets (Ogunsipe et al, 2014). The significant difference observed on liver across the treatment groups suggested the presence of anti nutritional factors on the test ingredients.…”

<p>Nutritionally, <em>Chrysophyllum albidum </em>seeds have been reported to contain high amount of energy. However, the presence of anti-nutritional substances such as phytate, oxalate, saponin, and tannin in the seeds hinder animals from benefitting from it nutritionally. A 12-week study was carried out to examine the effect of substituting dietary maize with roasted African star apple kernel meal (RASAKM) on growth performance and blood indices of growing rabbits. A total of forty eight weaner rabbits (mixed breed, average weight, 590 g) were randomly allocated to four experimental diets containing 0, 5, 10 and 15 % RASAKM as substitute for dietary maize in a Completely Randomized Design. Roasted ASAKM influenced (P< 0.05) weight gain, feed conversion ratio and carcass parameters measured. Rabbits fed 5 and 10 % RASAKM diets had similar (P>0.05) weight gain (17.47 g and 16.69 g) with those fed the control diet (18.62 g). Rabbits fed 5 and 10 % RASAKM diets produced higher (P< 0.05) carcass compared with those fed 15 % RASAKM. Haematological indices analysed were not influenced (P>0.05) by the dietary treatments except for white blood cell and monocytes. It was concluded that RASAKM could be used up to 10 % to replace dietary maize in the diet of growing rabbits without compromising performance and carcass quality.</p>

“…Meanwhile, Bamgbose et al (2004) observed depressed carcass yield in 8-week old cockerels fed 13 to 19% crude fibre diets. At 8 weeks of age, the cockerels used by Bamgbose et al, (2004) were younger physiologically to cope with the challenge of high crude fibre levels fed before slaughter and this might have accounted for the depressed carcass yield since cockerels are expected to tolerate more fibre at older age than the broilers (Oyawoye and Nelson, 1999;Salami et al, 2003). The observed values of dressed carcass weight showed that 12% CF at 2800 and 3000ME (Kcal/kg) are adequate as previously reported for growth performance indices and blood profile of finishing broiler chickens (Salami, 2016).…”

The carcass characteristics of unsexed Obamarshal broiler chickens fed three levels (4, 8 and 12%) of Crude Fibre (CF) and three levels of Metabolisable Energy (ME) at 2600, 2800 and 3000 ME (Kcal/kg) in multi-fibre source-based diets were assessed using a 3x3 factorial design. The nine experimental diets, each for the starter and finisher phases maintained the calorie: protein ratios of 123:1 and 140:1 respectively. Two hundred and sixteen (216) dayold unsexed broiler chicks were allotted at the outset to nine dietary treatments at 24 per diet with 8 birds per replicate. There were 3 replicates per treatment arranged in a completely randomised design. Diets were formulated in accordance with the standard nutritional specifications for the broiler chickens. Feed and water were provided to the birds ad libitum for 8 weeks. Results showed that carcass yield was similar (P>0.05) and maximised (P<0.05) on 8 and 12% CF diets at 2800 and 3000ME (Kcal/kg) with the eviscerated weights of 1.40 and 1.42 kg respectively while carcass fat as per abdominal and gizzard was minimised on 12% CF diet at 2800ME (Kcal/kg) diet. Relative weights of both intestinal organs and length of intestine were increased (P<0.05) in broiler finishers with increasing CF levels while increasing ME levels increased abdominal fat. It can therefore, be concluded that 12% CF diet at 2800 and 3000 ME (Kcal/kg) maximised carcass yield but carcass fat was minimised at 2800 ME (Kcal/kg) diet of broiler chickens in favor of its recommendation for adoption, especially in the tropics.

“…Male Laying hens are sold at a very cheap price (0.02-0.03 US$/laying hens compared to female laying hens 0.68-0.77 US$/laying hens) to breeders and partnership companies (Soisontes, 2016). Laying hens are raised as in broiler rearing, but their need for protein and energy is lower because their growth rate is also lower (Salami et al, 2003). The use of Antibiotics Growth Promoter (AGP) in animal feed has long been used as a growth promoter with the aim of improving livestock performance and obtaining economic benefits.…”

This study aims to examine the effect of adding water extract of Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Ness) to drinking water on the performance and blood lipids profilem of cockerel aged 0-7 weeks. This study was conducted in the village of Cepaka, Kediri, Tabanan, Bali. Using A total of 200 birds of aged 1 day old chick laying hens males.. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications so that there were 20 units, each replicate using 10 chickens. The treatments were: (A) Drinking water without the addition of extract sambiloto leaf water, (B) drinking water with the addition of sambiloto leaf water extract 2 ml/l , (C) drinking water with the addition of sambiloto leaf water extract 4 ml/l and (D) drinking water with the addition of sambiloto leaf water extract 6 ml/L The variables observed in this study were performance, carcass, blood lipid profile, digestive tract microbes and economic aspec. The results showed that the administration of sambiloto leaf water extract not significantly different (P>0.05) on ration consumption, drinking water consumption, final body weight, FCR, blood lipid profile, total coliform and E.coly and significantly different (P<0.05) on carcass percentage, carcass composition.
