“…Heart weight fluctuated across dietary treatments. It also negate findings of Oluokun and Olaolu (1999) who reported that increased heart weight of rabbit fed 10% cashew nut meal residue based diet increased metabolic activities of liver. The study disagreed with the findings of Ojewola and Ewa (2005) who reported that the quality and fat content of the cashew kernel meal (15.54%) elicited increased activity in the heart of the chicken fed diet four, thus leading to increase observed in the weight of heart in birds fed diet four which is numerical and respectively above those of diets 5, diet 3, 2 and 1 respectively.…”

Effect of dietary substitution of sawdust for wheat offal on internal organs weight and carcass yield of broiler starter was conducted using 99 broilers. Broiler chicks were allocated to three dietary treatments and replicate thrice with eleven (11) broilers per replicate. Three dietary treatments were formulated with sawdust substituting for wheat offal at 0, 40 and 80%. Experiment lasted for three weeks in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Data obtained was analyzed using ANOVA. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in all internal organs weight and carcass yield across dietary treatments. Broiler fed on 80% had highest liver weight (3.59%) while least (2.44%) was recorded from 0%. Heart showed lowest p<0.05 (0.37%) from 80% while highest (0.55%) was obtained from 40%. Lowest (p<0.05) kidney (0.38%) was recorded from 0% while highest (0.48%) was observed from 80%. Lung gave least weight (0.42%) in the broiler fed 0% while highest weight (0.66%) was observed from 80%. Higher (1364.50g) live weight was obtained from 80% while least (1066.50g) was obtained from 0%). Dressed weight followed the same trend with highest (1282.00g) noticed from 80% while least (978.50g) was noticed from 0%. 80% gave highest wings (8.94%), back (15.02%), drumstick (10.88%) and breast (17.88%) respectively while wings had least p<0.05 of 8.01% from 40% back had 13.30% from 0%, drumstick (10.06%), breast (17.18%) from 40% respectively. It could be concluded that sawdust can be successfully replaced wheat offal in the broiler starter up to 80% without adverse effect on internal organs weight and carcass yield

“…The proximate composition of brewer's dried grain (BDG), which is maize/sorghum-based, includes 28.25% CP, 13.12% CF, 6.70% EE, 7.36% total Ash, and 4.23 Kcal/gram of gross energy, according to Uchegbu and Udedibie (1998). However, the nutrient composition of BDG differs depending on the grain source and brewing method (Oluokun and Olalokun, 1995). In many towns in Nigeria's rice-growing regions, rice offal is readily available throughout the year and is high in lysine and methionine content (Makinde et al, 2014).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of incorporating three agro-industrial by-products as partial substitutes for maize on growth performance, carcass characteristics, blood profile, and economic efficiency in local Turkey. The study, which spanned a duration of fifty-six (56) days, was executed in a completely randomized design (CRD). A total of forty-eight (48) day-old local turkey poults were employed, and they were randomly assigned to four (4) dietary treatments of 12 poults per treatment, and replicated 3 times with 4 poults per replicate. The experimental diets, which contained three agro-industrial by-products, namely maize offal (MO), rice milling residue (RMR), and brewers' dried grain (BDG), were formulated with an inclusion level of 30% each of agro in by-products in the diets. At the starter phase, there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the final weight gain, and average daily weight gain (ADWG), with higher values for final weight, average daily weight gain, and lower feed conversion ratio being recorded as 664.83, 14.57, 14.56, and 3.37g/bird respectively, at T3. The final weight, average daily weight gain (ADWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) at the grower phase were not significantly different (P>0.05). However, T4 diet (30% BDG) had the highest final weight, but the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.42 was recorded at T1 (30% MO. The live weight, dress weight, carcass weight, dress percentage, breast, thigh, wings, back, neck, drumstick, liver, heart, and gizzard were not significantly different (P>0.05) among treatment groups, except kidney, which was significantly different (p<0.05) among the treatment groups. The haematological parameters measured, including packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and white blood cell (WBC), were all significantly (P<0.05) different. However, haemoglobin (Hb) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentrations (MCHC) were not significantly different (P>0.05). The feed cost decreased as 30% level of each of the three agro-industrial by-products replaced maize in this study. Feed cost (N/Kg gain) followed the same trend. The findings revealed that T4 (30% BDG) was more economical for feeding turkey than the control diet (T1) containing 100% of maize and the other treatments. Therefore, it can be concluded that the replacement of maize with up to 30% BDG will offer improved growth performance, pose no health risk to turkeys, and reduce the cost of production.

“…Ivory Coast, Ghana, Brazil and the West Indian Islands also cultivate kolanut [3]. Nigeria produces two million metric tons of kolanut annually which represented 70% of the world's kolanuts production [4]. According to [5], there are about 40 kola nut species dominant in West Africa while the kola species of economic importance especially in Nigeria, West and Central Africa, the Caribbean Islands, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Malaysia are Cola acuminate and Cola nitida.…”

This study examines the origin of kola-nuts trade and the indispensability of kola-nut trade in West Africa. Desk research was carried out using past published literature. The study established the fact that kola nut production was indigenous to the West Africa Forest and pinpointed the actual origin of kola-nut especially Cola nitida to be along the western coast of Africa from Sierra Leone to the republic of Benin. On the other hand, the areas of Ijare and Idanre in Ondo State of Nigeria are currently believed to be the places where Cola acumunata originated. The dominant variety of kola-nut grown in Western and Eastern parts of Nigeria was cola acumunata and Cola verticillata. However, in terms of production, before the 19th century the production of cola nitida was limited to the forests west of the Volta River in Ghana. Both linguistic and ethnographic data were used to trace the origin of kola-nut and developed a chronology with regard to the origins and trade routes for kola-nuts. The research work however established the importance of kola-nut production and trade to the economies of West Africa countries where they are produced and traded. It was however recommended that considering the indispensability of kola-nut trade to West Africa particularly Nigeria, the government should take proactive steps to increase the scope of production and trade of this crop in order to improve the livelihoods of kola-nuts farmers and traders as well as increase it contributions to the national economy.
