“…Increased redness, yellowness, and decreased lightness indicate the good quality of muscles [ 32 , 33 ]. The findings of the current experiment showed that, in both the thigh and breast muscles, the redness and yellowness of the breast muscle in treated groups increased as the concentration of macroalgae increased.…”

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to examine the effectiveness of green macroalgae as a novel, natural feed additive for broilers that have a greater concentration of active ingredients. Materials and Methods: Four experimental groups of 180-day-old male broiler chicks (Cobb-500) were randomly assigned, with three replicates in each group: the control group [T0, maintained only with basal diet] and three treatment groups supplemented with macroalgae for 35 days along with basal diet [T1 = 0.05% (w/w); T2 = 0.1% (w/w); T3 = 0.2% (w/w) macroalgae]. Live weight, carcass weight, and organs’ weight were noted at the conclusion of the experiment. The meat quality was examined using the muscles of the thighs and breasts, and blood serum was obtained for biochemical assessment. Results: The results revealed that dietary supplementation of green macroalgae (0.1%) in broiler rations significantly (p < 0.05) improved the growth performance compared to other treated groups and controls. With increasing weight, it enhanced meat quality traits assessed by increased water holding capacity, ultimate pH, redness and yellowness, and decreased lightness of muscles in the thighs and breasts. Both the levels of serum cholesterol and abdominal fat decreased and showed no unwholesome effects on liver and kidney functions. Conclusions: For the production of safe and high-quality poultry meat, marine green macroalgae (Enteromorpha intestinalis) could be used as a potential feed additive. It enhanced the growth rate in broilers and improved meat quality and serum biochemical parameters for supplying healthy meat in the human food chain.

“…Poultry production is unique in that is a major employer of thousands of people and offers the quick return of income in Nigeria and most countries of the world (Apata and Oke, 2012;Rahman et al, 2022;Sultana et al, 2023). This is mainly because of the ease to enter into the business as fairly moderate capital outlay is required to start (Oluwanbe, 2002).…”

“…This is mainly because of the ease to enter into the business as fairly moderate capital outlay is required to start (Oluwanbe, 2002). However, in the world over, there is rising operational cost, which tends heavily towards feeding of birds to the toll of about 60% of the cost (Sanni et al, 2000;Sarker et al, 2022;Sultana et al, 2023). Silver Brown are the world most prolific egg layers producing over three hundred and thirty rich brown eggs within eighteen months and are adaptable to tropical environment (Parkhaurst and Mountney, 2004), but they consume more for them to produce the desired eggs in terms of number and size as well as furnish considerable dressing yield.…”

This study investigated the effect of feeding diets containing layers droppings meal in replacement of soybean meal on carcass and meat quality of spent Silver Brown layers. A total of 105 chickswere purchased from avian specialist hatchery at Ibadan, Oyo state and reared on the Teaching and Research Farm of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ayetoro Campus. They were fed Animal Care Konsult® concentrate up to point of lay and were allotted to 5 treatments and placed on basal diet T0=0% dried layers dropping meal (DLDM) the test diets T1=25% DLDM, T2=50% DLDM, T3=75% DLDM and T4=100% DLDM inclusion with 3 replicates of 7 birds per replicate. At the end of 18 months lay, 15 birds from each treatment were randomly selected and slaughtered. Carcass and meat characteristics were determined in a completely randomized design experiment and data analysed at p=0.05. Birds fed T1 furnished higher dressing percentage (72%), cut-up parts, cooking yield (90.41%), crude protein (21.6%) andorganoleptic properties, while cooking and drip losses as well as thermal and cold shortenings were lower compared to other treatments. It was concluded that diet T1 (25% DLDM) inclusion was better and was recommended.
