Blood profile and organ weights of broilers fed variously processed Mucuna seed meal were investigated.A total of 120 day old broiler chickens were used. There were 4 treatments each replicated into 3 with 10 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design(CRD). Four treatment diets were formulated.Diet1served as control containing raw Mucuna, whilediets 2, 3, and 4 had boiled Mucuna, Mucuna boiled with ankanwu and boiled Mucuna mix with enzyme, respectively added to them. The birds were allowed 7 days to get stabilized before being randomly assigned to the experimental diets that lasted for 49 days. There were no significant (P>0.05) differences in the organ weights except for intestine, spleen and lungs. The value of the intestine ranged from 4.30% (D4) to 5.20% (D2). D4 was significantly ((P<0.05) lower than D2 butcompared favourably with D1 (4.51)and D3 (4.62). Significant ((P<0.05) differences existed only in haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The MCHC values ranged from 30.67 in D4 to 34.69% in D2. The value for D4 was significantly (P<0.05) lower than those of D1, D2, and D3 which was not significantly (P>0.05) different. The Hb and MCHC were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the processing of MSS. Total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, globulin and alkaline phosphatase were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the processing method employed in conclusion it is observed that 5% inclusion of Mucuna either raw or processed to broiler chicken diets does, does not have any deleterious effect on them health wise since blood and organs characteristics are used to measure the health status of animal.

Two hundred and forty (240), unsexed day old Arbor Acre broiler chicks were used to evaluate the effects of replacing whole kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) seed meal (WKSM) with full fat soybean meal (FFSM) in the diets on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicken in a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement, consisting two processing methods (raw kenaf seed meal RKM and roasted kenaf seed meal HKM) and 4 inclusion levels (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%). Both RKM and HKM were analysed for anti-nutritive factors, data were collected on performance, carcass characteristics and cost benefit. The results of anti-nutritive factors (ANF) in RKM and HKM revealed that HKM had lower values of 0.045%, 0.029mg/g and 0.013mg/g for tannin, oxalate and phytic acid respectively when compared to 0.078%,0.124mg/g and 0.026mg/g obtained for RKM (P<0.05). The performance of broiler chicken showed that birds on 10% RKM with an average weight gain and FCR of (2640.00g and 2.48) competed favourably with the control (2554.67g and 2.45). The results of carcass characteristics showed that birds on 10% and 20% inclusion levels had significantly (P<0.05) higher values of 64.25% and 65.58% for dressed weight respectively. In terms of weight gain and FCR, birds fed RKM performed better than birds fed roasted kenaf meal HKM. About 5% feed cost savings was made when WKSM was included in the diets of broilers. It was concluded that RKM and RKM can replace FFSB in broiler diets up to 10% without any detrimental effect on performance and carcass quality.

Abstract Background The study examined the effects of Myristica fragrans seed meal (MSM) and Syzygium aromaticum leaf meal (SLM) dietary supplementation on the growth performance, health status, and meat quality of broiler chicken. Methods A total of two hundred and forty 1-day-old broiler chickens were assigned the four dietary treatments: Diet 1/control (no supplementation), Diet 2 (0.25% MSM), Diet 3 (0.25% SLM), and Diet 4 (0.25% MSCM, i.e., MSM + SLM 1:1). The birds were fed ad libitum throughout the feeding trial. Results The dietary supplementation of 0.25% MSCM resulted in higher body weight gain and lowered feed conversion ratio (p < 0.05) at the finisher stage and overall period, while feed intake was not statistically affected (p > 0.05) across the treatments. The dietary inclusion of MSM, SLM, and MSCM did not significantly influence carcass traits, relative internal organ weights, and haematological indices of the broiler chicken (p > 0.05) except mean cell volume and mean cell haemoglobin content (p < 0.05). The result further revealed that broilers fed diets supplemented with MSM, SLM, and MSCM had higher (p < 0.05) serum catalase, glutathione peroxidase and lowered serum cholesterol compared with control. The meat cholesterol levels and lipid peroxidation of the birds were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced, while glutathione peroxidase was increased by dietary MSM, and MSCM supplementation. Conclusion The MSCM supplementation at 0.25% enhanced the body weight gain, improved serum, and meat glutathione peroxidase and catalase but reduced the broiler’s meat cholesterol level and lipid oxidation.

The experiment was conducted to test the effect of boiled jackfruit seed meal on the performance and economics of starter broiler chicken. The experiment was conducted using one hundred and twenty chicks one week old. The chick swere fed formulated diets containing jackfruit meal (JFM) at T (0%), T (10%), T (20%) and T (30%) levels of inclusion. Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of ten (10) broiler chicks each for 42 days in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The birds were fed ad-libitum throughout the period of the experiment. Data on feed intake and growth parameters were collected daily and weekly, respectively. Jackfruit is a potential feed resource and could be included in the diet of broiler chicks, up to10%level of inclusion without any adverse effect on its performance.

Means of reducing the rising cost of feed resources in livestock production is a concern in the poultry industry in Nigeria.The study was carried out to investigate the effect of graded level of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) seed meal on performance traits, physical and sensory quality of broiler chicken meat. One hundred and twenty birds at day 28 were used and thirty birds were randomly allotted into respective four dietary treatments [T1 - control diet with 0% inclusion level of raw roselle seed meal (RSM) while T2, T3 and T4 had 25%, 50% and 75% inclusion level of RSM respectively] in a complete randomized design. Each treatment had three replicates with ten birds per replicate. At the end of the 28-day feeding trial being 8 weeks, 24 birds (2-birds/replicate) were slaughtered for physical and sensory meat quality characteristics: colour, appearance, flavor, texture, taste and overall acceptability. Result showed there was not significant (P>0.05) difference for final weight, weight gain and feed intake among T1, T2 and T3 but T4 had significant (P<0.05) least values in final weight (1.58kg) weight gain (1.05kg) and feed intake (3.52kg) among the treatments. The FCR was not significantly different for T1 (3.32) and T4 (3.36) while both T1 and T4 differed significantly from T2 (3.13) and T3 (3.11). There were not significant (p>0.05) differences in the carcass traits that were measured across the treatments. The cooking loss from the thigh meat in T2 (27.55%) was significantly lower in comparison to treatments T3 (36.60%) and T4 (35.62%) but was not significantly different from T1 (30.48%). The cooking loss from breast and drumstick meat showed insignificant (P<0.05) difference among the treatments. The texture of the meat had least scored value in T1 (4.93) which was significantly different from T1 (6.33) but not significantly different from T2 (5.13) and T4 (6.07). The overall acceptability of the meat from the treatments was highest in T1 (7.03) with no significantly different from T3 (6.33) and T4 (6.67) but was significantly different from T2 (5.6). It can be concluded that raw roselle seed meal can be used as a substitute for full fat soybean for use in finisher broiler diets up to 50% inclusion level without adverse effect on the performance traits and some meat quality attributes of chicken.
