AbstractThe study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of honeyweed (HW) and buckwheat (BW) supplemented diets on the growth, feed intake, serum lipid profile and blood parameters in broiler chicks. One hundred fifty (150) day old chicks (Cobb-500) were divided into five groups viz. T1 (Commercial control, CC), T2 (FF+10% BW), T3 (FF+10% BW +5% (w/v) HW powder), T4 (FF+10% BW +10% (w/v) HW powder), T5 (FF+10% BW +15% (w/v) HW powder) in complete randomized design with five (5) replications, each of which contain six (6) birds. The CC feed and the FF with HW and BW supplemented diet fed on broiler for 30 days. At the end of the study, the body weight gain, FCR and mortality rate were calculated. It was found that T3 (FF+10% BW +5% (w/v) HW powder) diet significantly (p <0.05) showed the good FCR, mortality rate and body weight gain. Interestingly, T3 decreased the serum cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) and improves blood parameters significantly (p < 0.05). Our results suggested that this newly formulated feed T3 (FF+10% BW +5% (w/v) HW powder) could be considered as an alternative natural feed additive to hazardous synthetic antibiotics.

Considering the inherent attributes of tannia cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagitifolium) its appropriate utilization may enhance performance of starter broiler chicks. This study was therefore carried out to determine the dietary evaluation of starter broiler chicks fed cooked cocoyam tuber meal as energy source in place of maize. The cooked cocoyam tuber meal was used to replace maize at various levels of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% respectively for diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 to determine the best replacement level that would give optimal performance in starter broiler chicks' diets. Result of the proximate composition of cooked cocoyam tuber meal showed that it contained 13.11% moisture, 2.60% ash, 1.85% ether extract, 3.90% crude protein, 9.45% crude fibre, 70.13% nitrogen free extract and 3004.37 Kcal/kgME. 150 day old Anak broiler chicks were used for the experiment. They were divided into 5 treatment groups of 30 broiler chicks each. Each treatment group was subdivided into 3 replicates of 10 broiler chicks each and kept in deep litter. Each starter diet was fed to a group of 30 starter broilers for 4 weeks using completely randomized design. They were given feed and water adlibitum. Parameters measured include initial body weight, final body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and economics of production. In the starter broiler feeding trial, the starter broilers on 25% cooked cocoyam meal compared favourably with the control (P> 0.05) in terms of feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio and significantly (P > 0.05) performed between than those on 100% CCYM. The cost of production (N/Kg broiler) was however cheapest for diet 2 (25% CCYM) N395 versus control diet (N494.28). It was therefore concluded that cooked cocoyam tuber meal (Xanthosoma sagitifolium) could be used in the diets of starter broiler chicks' up to 25% without affecting the body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio as indicated in this study.

The experiment was conducted at the livestock production and management unit, faculty of agriculture. MGCGV Chitrakoot – Satna ( M.P.). To complete the research work following steps were followed. Day old 75 broiler chicks (DOC) of same hatch were produced and reared in of Deep litter system. The chicks were weighed, leg banded and distributed randomly into five groups of 15 chicks each as treatment. Chicks of each treatment were further divided into three sub groups of five chicks in each in Randomized Block Design (RBD). Chicks of each sub group were accommodated comfortably in deep letter system providing 1 sq. ft./ chick. Chicks were fed standard starter ration upto 3 weeks age (1 to 21 days) and then broiler finisher ration upto 3-4 weeks (22-28 days). An experiment was conducted with DOC to 75 broilers chicks divided into five groups T0, T1,T2 and T4 which were supplemented with turmeric and Tulsi leaves powder @ 1.0g, 2.0g, 3.0g and 4.0g/kg of broiler ration, respectively. Weekly observations were recorded for live body weight, weekly gain in weight, weekly feed consumption and feed conversion of broiler for four weeks. Based on the results of the experiment, it may be concluded that feed supplementation with turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder influenced the body weight, gain in body weight, feed intake and feed efficiency of broiler chicks. Based on the result of the experiment, it may be concluded that feed supplementation with turmeric + Tulsi leaves powder influenced body weight, gain in body weight, feed intake and feed efficiency of broiler chicks. Based on feed intake and feed efficiency, the best performance of broilers was obtained with feed supplementation of 3g turmeric + 3g Tulsi powder per kg of standard ration (T3), followed by 4g turmeric + 4g Tulsi leaf powder (T4). Treatment T3 was economically superior over all other treatments and control.

The study was conducted to determine the efficacy of organic Se produced through Saccharomyces cerevisiae from sodium selenite in the diet of Vanaraja and commercial broiler chicken. The trial was conducted in day-old Vanaraja chicks (n=160), which were randomly distributed into 4 dietary groups having 5 chicks in each of 8 replicates. The basal diet (BD) was formulated and supplemented with calculated quantity of organic Se to formulate the different experimental diets and fed up to 5 weeks. The second experiment in day-old commercial broiler chicks (n=350), which were randomly distributed into 7 dietary groups having 5 chicks in each of 10 replicates. The experimental birds were fed BD (diet I) with 0.2 mg/kg organic Se (diet II), 0.4 mg/kg organic Se (diet III) and 0.6 mg/kg organic Se (diet IV), and BD with 0.2 mg/kg inorganic Se (diet V), 0.4 mg/kg inorganic Se (diet VI) and 0.6 mg/kg inorganic Se (diet VII) up to 6 weeks. The body weight gain during 5th week was higher (P Lass Than 0.05) in the birds fed with diet supplemented 0.3 mg/kg of the organic Se compared to the other groups. However, feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) among different groups did not vary (P>0.05) throughout the experiment. The activity of glutathione peroxidase was higher (P Lass Than 0.01) among the groups fed the diets containing organic Se (0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mg/kg) compared to the control diet in experiment I. In experiment II, body weight gain and FCR at the end of the experiment were improved significantly (P Lass Than 0.01) in the group fed 0.2 mg/kg organic Se compared to control. Alanine transaminase, Aspartate aminotransferase, triglycerides and cholesterol levels were lower in groups fed diets supplemented organic Se compared to control or inorganic Se fed groups. Whereas, glutathione reductase activity was significantly higher among the groups supplemented organic Se compared to other dietary groups. Based on the results it can be concluded that supplementing organic Se up to 0.3 mg/kg enhanced the body weight gain and anti-oxidant enzyme activity in Vanaraja and commercial broiler chicken.

Abstract. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of sumac and dried whey powder on growth performance, carcass traits, intestinal morphology, microbial population, and some biochemical parameters and antibody titer against Newcastle disease of female broiler chicks. A total of 360 1-day-old female broiler chicks with an average weight of 38 ± 0.42 g were randomly divided into three treatments. Each treatment was further divided into six replicates. Three treatments were used: chicks were fed by basal diet as control group, basal diet + 0.02% sumac powder (S), and basal diet + 0.02% dried whey powder (DW) for 42 days. Results showed that feed intake of chicks increased significantly in S and DW in comparison with the control group (P < 0.05). Body weight gain was also significantly higher in the treated groups. The serum concentration triglyceride and cholesterol of chicks decreased significantly by S and DW feeding. While low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level decreased significantly, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels increased in the S group. Antibody level increased titer against Newcastle disease significantly by feeding treated diet compared to the control group. Data from microbial population investigation showed that E. coli population decreased while Lactobacillus increased in S and DW groups. The data revealed an improvement in the body weight gain, feed conversion ratio because of increased intestinal morphology, antibody level, and some useful microbial population in female broiler chicks receiving the sumac and dried whey powder.

Time-restricted feeding (TRF) showed a potent effect in preventing obesity and improving metabolic outcomes in several animal model of obesity; however, there is, as yet, scarce evidence about its effectiveness against obesogenic challenge that more accurately mimic the human Western diets, such as cafeteria diet. Moreover, the mechanism for its efficacy is poorly understood. White adipose browning has been linked to body weight loss. Herein, we tested whether TRF has the potential to induce browning of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and to attenuate obesity and associated dyslipidemia in cafeteria diet-induced obesity model. Male Wistar rats, fed normal laboratory chow (NC) or cafeteria diet (CAF) for 16 weeks, were subdivided into two groups that were subjected to either ad libitum (ad lib, A) or TRF (R) for 8 hours per day. Rats under TRF regimen had a lower body weight gain and adiposity compared with their diet-matched ad lib rats, despite equivalent levels of food intake and locomotor activity. In addition, TRF improved the deranged lipid profile [total cholesterol (TC); triglycerides (TG); high density lipoprotein (HDL-c); low density lipoprotein (LDL-c)] and atherogenic indices [atherogenic index of plasma (AIP); atherogenic coefficient (AC); coronary risk index (CRI)] in rats fed CAF diet. Remarkably, TRF resulted in decreased size of adipocytes and induced emergence of multilocular brown-like adipocytes in iWAT of NC- and CAF-fed rats. Protein expression of browning markers, such as uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α) in iWAT were also up-regulated in time restricted NC- or CAF-fed rats. These findings suggest that TRF regimen is an effective strategy to improve obesity and associated dyslipidemia induced by CAF-diet, probably via a mechanism involving WAT browning process.

<p>The objective of this research was to study the use of earthworm meal (Lumbricus rubellus) (TCT) as feed additive on broiler performance, blood profile and protein digestibility. The experiment used 100 day old chicken of cobb strain (CP 707), for 35 days feeding trial. The birds were randomly divided into four dietary treatments (R0: without TCT addition, R1: 0.5% TCT addition, R2: 1% TCT addition, R3: 1.5% TCT addition) with five replications, wich consisted five chickens each. The experimental design used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) of one way ANOVA then continued with Duncan test. Performance test was conducted by recording body weight gain, feed consumption and feed efficiency. Blood profile test was obtained by counting the number of erythrocyte, leukocyte and lymphocytes, whereas protein digestibility test used the collection method of excreta and ileum content. The result showed that feed consumption of R1 (2,065 g), R2 (2,025.4 g), R3 (2,075.3 g) were significantly different (P&lt;0.05) from<br />R0 (2,309.8 g), while the body weight gain were not different among treatments and FCR of R1 (1.78), R2 (1.78), R3 (1.78) were significantly different (P&lt;0.05) from R0 (2.04). The result of blood profile test showed that the number of<br />erythrocyte among treatments were not significantly different, the number of leukocyte of R1 (18,575 μl), R2 (18,200 μl), R3 (20,175 μl) were found significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) than R0 (16,675 μl) and lymphocytes of R1 (22.7%), R2 (21.8%), R3 (23.6%) were significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) than R0 (15.2%). Protein digestibility of R3 (91.69%) was significantly different (P&lt;0.05) from R0 (81.75%), R1 (90.48%) and R2 (85.99%), while R1 (90.48%) was significantly different (P&lt;0.05) from R0 (81.75%), but R2 (85.99%) was not significantly different from R0 (81.75%). It could be inferred that earthworm meal addition as feed additive could improved production performance of broiler, the poultry health through blood profile, and enhanced the protein digestibility.</p><p>(Key words: Feed additive, Earthworm meal, Broiler)<br /><br /></p>

The study was planned to evaluate the effect of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) supplementation for 56 days @ 240 mg/kg total mixed ration (TMR) on digestibility of dry matter and nutrients in dairy cows. Six dry non-pregnant cows were assigned in each treatment with and without EFE. The digestibility trial of seven days was conducted after 49 days of feeding. Dry matter and nutrients intake of cows was not influenced by EFE. The supplementation of EFE had improved digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, cellulose (p less than 0.01), as well as digestibility of nitrogen-free extract and acid detergent fiber, was also higher (pless than 0.05). The body weight gain of cows was higher on the supplementation of EFE in TMR. The study concluded that feeding exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (240 mg/kg) supplemented TMR improved digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, which was reflected as higher body weight gain in dry non-pregnant Gir and crossbred dairy cows.
