“…In the finisher experiment, the use of QPM allowed the fishmeal to be reduced from 19.5 to 13.5 % without adversely affecting performance which implied broiler production using QPM based diet is more cheaper than NM based diet. Similar experiment done on broiler chicks by [10] indicated that as the level of QPM inclusion increased from 0 to 100 % against normal maize, the feed/gain ratio increased from 3.62 to 2.12, respectively (where 3.62 is referring when QPM was zero and 2.12 when 100 % QPM included). A feeding trial done by [30] on broiler chicks using QPM combined with sesame seed meal as a replacement for synthetic amino acids indicated that, when 30-36% QPM combined with 15-17.3% sesame seed meal, it safely and economically be used to substitute synthetic amino acids in broiler chicks and finisher ration with better economic advantage than commercial ration with synthetic amino acids.…”

Maize is the major food and feed source in most parts of the world. In Ethiopia, it ranks second in area coverage after Teff and first in production. But maize alike other cereals, is deficient in certain essential amino acids like lysine and tryptophan. Therefore, this study is initiated to review the pros and cons of other maize variety called Quality Protein Maize as food, feed and other industrial uses and to suggest recommendations based on the findings. For the purpose, a number of national and international research findings were collected and used. The major lessons from this study indicated that, Quality Protein Maize has got a similar yield potential and disease resistance with normal maize and its biological value is about 80% whereas normal maize has got 40-75%. It has also 90% the biological value of cow's milk with a true digestibility level of 60% which is greater than normal maize. The amino acid profile specially lysine and tryptophan is 2-3 fold higher than normal maize. Feeding of Quality Protein Maize to children in a number of countries indicated that the anthropometric measures are higher for the children fed with Quality Protein Maize than normal maize fed groups and also increased the intelligent quotient. Feeding of Quality Protein Maize to pregnant women showed a significant impact upon the health of the babies and mothers. The impact of Quality Protein Maize feeding to old age people reflected in their relief from gastric and other indigestion ailments. Feeding values of Quality Protein Maize to broiler chicks enhanced growth rate and meat quality. When broiler chicks fed with the combination of Quality Protein Maize and sesame seed meal, it can safely replace synthetic amino acids with better economic advantage than feeding with synthetic amino acids. In the case of layers, feeding of Quality Protein Maize improved age at first egg laying, egg production, and egg quality parameters. The major problems associated to the scaling ups of Quality Protein Maize include limited promotion, insufficient demonstration and poor awareness creation on its quality. On top of these, literally there is no premium price for the production of Quality Protein Maize and there is no special incentives for those producers. Therefore, research results should be properly documented and shared with the respective stakeholders, continuous awareness creation, demonstration and extension activities to producers and consumers should be done so as to use the potential in a proper manner. For effective promotion, back ward linkages and contract farming is also important to ensure sustainable supply of seed. It is also equally important to involve private players for seed production and link them with industries and encourage farmers to use yellow quality protein maize variety to increase the beta carotene contents of the diets.

“…Breeding for improved protein quality in maize began in the mid-1960s with the discovery of mutants, such as opaque-2, and led to the development of quality protein maize (QPM) characterized by enhanced levels of Lys and Trp (Prasanna et al, 2001;Sofi et al, 2009). QPM (Obatampa) and lysine maize have been shown to have a better feed to gain ratio compared to normal maize in monogastric animals such as chickens (Lucas et al, 2007;Onimisi et al, 2009).…”

The nutritional performance of three highprotein maize hybrids was compared with conventional maize in a 42-day feeding trial in broilers. The following experimental diets were compared: i) control diet (CTR) containing conventional maize; ii) diet containing hybrid IPM1; iii) diet containing hybrid IPM2; iv) diet containing hybrid IPM3. The diets were offered to male broilers (Hubbard Ultra-Yield; 120 birds per treatment) in 3 phases: starter, grower and finisher. All the diets were isonitrogenous and iso-energetic. The IPM2 and IPM3 diets (containing maize grains with the highest protein and essential and non-essential amino acid contents) resulted in a higher final weight in broilers (2622 and 2632 g, respectively, versus IPM1 and CTR diets; P<0.05), a higher average daily gain (60.8 and 61.4 g/d, respectively, versus IPM1 and CTR diets; P<0.05) and better feed to gain ratios (1.70 and 1.69, respectively, versus the CTR diet; P<0.05) throughout the experimental period. The nutritional characteristics of the different maize varieties were also evaluated using a 9-day digestibility trial in male rats (6 rats per treatment). Higher percentages of nitrogen retention were obtained from the IPM2 (54.02%) and IPM3 (53.51%) diets compared with the CTR (44.20%) and IPM1 (41.87%) diets (P<0.05). These results suggest a greater amino acid availability in the diets based on high-protein maize varieties. Therefore, high-protein maize can profitably be included in broiler diets with the advantage of reducing the use of imported protein sources (such as soybean meal) because of its higher protein content and consequently, providing savings on feed costs.

INtroductIoN Maize occupies the highest percentage of most compounded rations for monogastric animals, taking about 40-60% their diet (Onimisi and Dafwang, 2010).The increasing pressure on the use of maize by human population and livestock feed millers coupled with the cost of maize which fluctuates with the seasons of the year, thus making the cereal grain to be either scarce or expensive, stimulate the use of alternative sources of energy that are research Article Abstract | The increasing pressure on maize for human and livestock nutrition, coupled with the cost of maize which keeps increasing, stimulate the use of alternative and locally available sources of energy. This study aimed at contributing to chicken productivity by evaluating effect of pelleted diets with graded inclusion levels of cassava-sweet potato meal (CASPM) as energy substitute for maize on the digestibility, carcass and haematological parameters of Cameroon Kabir chickens. A completely randomised design was used to allocate a total of 315 Kabir chickens (270 hens and 45 rosters) of 23 weeks of age to five dietary formulations T1 (0% replacement of maize with CASPM considered as control diet), T2 (25%), T3 (50%), T4 (75%) and T5 (100%). Animals within the treatments were balanced for weight in each sex, each treatment having 63 Kabir chickens in three replicates of 18 hens and 3 roosters each. The apparent digestibility of metabolizable energy was found to be positive. Lipids apparent digestibility value was negative for diet but positive for other treatments. Crude protein, Ash and crude fibre were all negative irrespective of treatments. The rosters had higher carcass weight than the hens (P<0.05), which in turn had a higher liver to carcass ratio as well as abdominal fats compared to the rosters. No significant difference was observed among other organs. The lowest RBC count was registered for T5 whereas unusual high RBC count was observed for hens from T4. T5 (100% substitution) and T3 (50% substitution) had the highest digestibility mean while T3 (50% substitution) had the lowest FCR. T1 and T3 were found to have the best optimum range blood characteristics. Overall, T3 was the best of the five treatments as neither mortality nor adverse effects on chickens was recorded. Besides, no abnormalities were found upon carcass analysis. It is therefore recommended that 50% substitution of cassava-sweet potato meal as energy substitute for maize shall be used for the improvement and productivity of Kabir chicken production. Keywords
