“…You saved more money /kg meat gained when SFM or RSM was incorporated into diets since feed costs /kg meat gained were lowered. Consequently, you fed less and gained more weight, similar results have been reported when using other non-conventional feed sources [76,77].…”

HIS study aimed to assess the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) in the diet of growing Japanese quails with sunflower meal (SFM) and roselle seed meal (RSM) at levels (5 and 10%). The analysis covered performance, carcass trait, some blood serum metabolites, gene expression, and economic efficiency measures. When comparing the quails in the experimental groups to those in the control group, there was no discernible difference in terms of their ultimate body weight or feed conversion ratio. However, body weight gain of growing quails fed 10% SFM or RSM showed higher body weight gain than other treatment group. The non-significant differences indicate that these alternative protein sources were at least as effective as soybean meal in supporting quail performance in the studied conditions. Blood serum parameters revealed that no statistically significant differences in total protein levels, HDL, and lipid peroxidation among the control group and the experimental groups. Nevertheless, it is significant that the cholesterol levels in all experimental groups were greater than those in the control group. The expression profiles of GH, IGF-I, PGAM2, IFN-α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL8, SOD, and GPX were considerably upregulated in the 10% SFM or RSM groups compared to other groups. MSTN, however, produced the opposite tendency. Significant economic efficiency measures were observed with the best results showing with a group feeding diet incorporating 10% SFM followed by 10% RSM incorporation. In conclusion, the utilization of SFM and RSM, especially at the 10% inclusion level instead of SBM, led to enhanced growth performance, improved expression of growth-related, immune, and antioxidant markers and improved economic efficiency in Japanese quails.

“…Broiler chickens fed ration comprising cassava pellets had improved feed consumption compared to birds fed rations with cassava chips or maize [16]. The reports of Edache et al, [24] indicated that 35% cassava meal based ration is suggested for growing Japanase quail. Cockerel starter birds could tolerate only about 28% level of cassava sievate in their ration [52].…”

This review paper is aimed to focus on feed resources with more emphasis on use of cassava and sweet potato meal in Chicken diet in Ethiopia. Poultry production has significant socioeconomic roles in developing countries like Ethiopia. Households keep chickens for home consumption, selling and breeding purposes and other purposes such as social and cultural purposes. The chicken farming in Ethiopia is predominantly backyard type of farming system and it is generally disadvantaged since the poor management. According to different research results, the commonly available sources of feeds for chickens includes cereal crops and their aftermaths and household waste products or left overs. Roots and tuber crops can be incorporated in different substitution levels in chickens' diet. Sweet potato and cassava are among the root and tuber crops and can be incorporated in chickens' diet. Substitution of sweet potato in broilers diet enhances feed consumption, growth performance and edible meat characteristics of chickens. Accordingly, addition of sweet potato meal in the ration of chicken causes no any impact on edible meat quality and it may possibly substitute up to 50% maize in broiler finisher ration without detrimentally upsetting production performance of chickens. Besides, the tuber meal of sweet potato can also be incorporated up to 25% in layers ration causing no damaging result on the performance of layer chickens. The tuber of cassava will be cut up and dried up, and milled or pelletized and incorporated in chickens' diet and it can also be included in broilers diet and capable of substituting 50% maize in broilers ration with no adverse effect on their performances and addition of 40% cassava flour or addition of 20% cassava peel meal in layer's ration is pleasing for laying performance of chickens.

Cassava - Recent Updates on Food, Feed, and Industry

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Chicken production has negatively been affected by continuous increment in conventional energy-source feed ingredients due to the competition between human beings and animals globally. Cereal crops, their byproducts, and leftovers from households are among the frequently accessible sources of chicken feed. Poultry industry has been affected by a shortage and increasing cost of conventional feed resources. Various non-conventional feed resources have been reported to solve this problem. Tuber and root crops are among the alternative feed resources and can be substituted at varying quantities in chickens’ diets. Among the root and tuber crops that can be included in the diet of chickens is cassava. The tuber of cassava can be cut into chunks, dried, milled, or pelletized and added to the diet of chickens. It can also be added to the diet of broilers, and it can substitute 50% of the maize in their diet without negatively impacting their performance. Adding 40% cassava flour or 20% cassava peel meal to the diet of layer chickens is also beneficial for their ability to lay eggs. Generally, different parts of cassava can be included at different amounts in the diets of chickens.
