Effects of supplemental dietary lysine and methionine in a Groundnut Cake (GNC) based diets on meat and bone characteristics of broiler chickens were investigated. In a completely randomized design, a total of 168 one - day – old Arbor acre broiler chicks were randomly allocated to seven dietary treatments each in triplicate of eight birds per replicate. The Seven starter and finishers’ diets were: GNC based diets without any amino acid (lysine or methionine) supplementation (T1); GNC diet + 0.2% lysine (T2); GNC diet + 0.4% lysine (T3); GNC diet + 0.2% methionine (T4); GNC diet + 0.4% methionine (T5); GNC diet + 0.2 lysine and 0.2% methionine (T6) and GNC diet + 0.4% lysine and 0.4% methionine (T7). Experimental diets and water were offered to birds ad libitum in an experiment lasting six-week. At day 42, two birds per replicate were slaughtered, meat and bone characteristics determined. There were significant variations (P<0.05) in the crude protein (%) and ether extract (%), pH1 and pH2 of meat. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances composition of meat at days 0, 5, and 10 were similar (P<0.05) and were not affected by dietary amino acid supplementation. Tibiotarsal index (mg/mm) of bone (22.10, 27.25, 33.35, 31.40, 28.70, 31.45 and 29.75 for broilers on T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7, respectively) were increased significantly (P<0.05) by amino acid supplementation. Significantly differences (P<0.05) were observed in the calcium, phosphorus and potassium (%) contents of broilers’ bone across treatments. Supplemental lysine and both lysine and methionine improved meat quality and bone development of broiler chickens in this study.

The stiff competition between man and livestock for maize as energy feedstuff has resulted in the high cost of poultry products. Therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding acha-based diet varying dietary plant protein to broiler chickens on carcass characteristic and organ proportions. A total of 120, one day-old Abor acre broiler chicks were used for the study in a Complete Randomized Design. Four dietary plant proteins were included in the broiler chicken diet at 28% level with an acha grain as the main energy source. Diet 1 contains 28% groundnut cake, while diets 2, 3 and 4 contain 28% of full fat soyabean, soyabean cake and cashew nut meal, respectively. The birds were randomly allotted to the 4 treatment groups, with each group having 30 birds which was further subdivided into 3 replicates of 10 birds each. This study lasted for 56 days. At the end of the feeding trial, carcass evaluation was carried out. One bird per replicate was randomly selected, starved overnight and slaughtered by severing the jugular vein. The visceral were removed and weighed. The results showed that birds fed dietary soyabean cake (Diet 3) had the highest live weight gain (2155.00g), slaughtered weight (1855.00g), defeathered weight (1838.33g), dressed weight (1455.00g) and shank (112.00g). The organ proportions showed significant differences (p<0.05), though followed no definite trend. In conclusion, birds fed diet 3 gave the best carcass weight, and the organ proportions showed no negative effect as par the diets offered the birds. Thus, inclusion of 28%, soyabean meal in an acha-grain based diets proved to be superior over groundnut cake and cashew nut and it is therefore recommended.   La vive concurrence entre l'homme et le bétail pour le maïs comme aliment énergétique a entraîné le coût élevé des produits de volaille. Par conséquent, une étude a été menée pour évaluer l'effet de l'alimentation à base d'acha avec des protéines végétales alimentaires variées sur les poulets de chair ainsi que les caractéristiques de la carcasse et les proportions des organes. Un total de 120 poussins de chair de 'Abor acre' âgés d'un jour a été utilisés pour l'étude dans un plan randomisé complet. Quatre protéines végétales diététiques ont été incluses dans le régime des poulets de chair à un taux de 28%, le grain d'acha étant la principale source d'énergie. Le régime 1 contient 28% de farine d'arachide, tandis que les régimes 2, 3 et 4 contiennent 28% de farine de soja, de gâteau de soja et de noix de cajou, respectivement. Les oiseaux ont été répartis au hasard dans les 4 groupes de traitement, chaque groupe comptant 30 oiseaux qui ont ensuite été subdivisés en 3 répétitions de 10 oiseaux chacun. Cette étude a duré 56 jours. À la fin de test d'alimentation, une évaluation de la carcasse a été effectuée. Un oiseau par réplique a été sélectionné au hasard, affamé pendant la nuit et abattu en sectionnant la veine jugulaire. Les viscéraux ont été prélevés et pesés. Les résultats ont montré que les oiseaux nourris avec du gâteau de soja diététique (régime 3) avaient le gain de poids vif (2155,00 g), le poids abattu (1855,00 g), le poids sans plumes (1838,33 g), le poids habillé (1455,00 g) et le jarret (112,00 g). Les proportions d'organes ont montré des différences significatives (p <0,05), mais n'ont suivi aucune tendance définie. En conclusion, les oiseaux nourris avec le régime 3 ont donné le meilleur poids de carcasse, et les proportions d'organes n'ont montré aucun effet négatif par rapport aux régimes offerts aux oiseaux. Ainsi, l'inclusion de 28% de gâteau de soja dans un régime à base de céréalesacha s'est avérée supérieure aux gâteau d'arachide et de noix de cajou et elle est donc recommandée.

A feeding trial was conducted with two hundred (200) Arbor Acre strain of broiler chicks to determine the effect of soybean residue (SBR) on carcass characteristics and visceral organs. Birds were fed for 28 days (starter phase) with formulated diet containing 22% crude protein and 3000Kcal/kg (ME). Five iso-nitrogenous experimental diets were formulated which contain SBR. In the control diet (T1) groundnut cake was served as the only protein source. Four (4) test diets designated as: T2, T3, T4 and T5 were formulated with SBR replacing 25, 50, 75 and 100% of groundnut cake respectively in finisher phase. The birds were randomly grouped into five (5) experimental treatment groups in four (4) replicates of 40 birds per treatment in a completely randomized design. The finisher phase lasted for five (5) weeks and the birds were fed and given drinking water adlibitum. All carcass characteristics evaluated differ significantly (P<0.05) among treatment groups except breast and wings. No significant (P>0.05) difference were shown for organs, while shanks was only the residue that was significantly affected by dietary treatment. Soybean residue can be used up to 100% to replace groundnut cake in the diet of broiler chickens thus providing a productive use for this hither to neglected agro allied waste.

Definition Of

In pigs and broiler chickens, the gastrointestinal tract or gut is subjected to many challenges which alter performance, animal health, welfare and livability. Preventive strategies are needed to mitigate the impacts of these challenges on gut health while reducing the need to use antimicrobials. In the first part of the review, we propose a common definition of gut health for pig and chickens relying on four pillars, which correspond to the main functions of the digestive tract: (i) epithelial barrier and digestion, (ii) immune fitness, (iii) microbiota balance and (iv) oxidative stress homeostasis. For each pillar, we describe the most commonly associated indicators. In the second part of the review, we present the potential of functional amino acid supplementation to preserve and improve gut health in piglets and chickens. We highlight that amino acid supplementation strategies, based on their roles as precursors of energy and functional molecules, as signaling molecules and as microbiota modulators can positively contribute to gut health by supporting or restoring its four intertwined pillars. Additional work is still needed in order to determine the effective dose of supplementation and mode of administration that ensure the full benefits of amino acids. For this purpose, synergy between amino acids, effects of amino acid-derived metabolites and differences in the metabolic fate between free and protein-bound amino acids are research topics that need to be furtherly investigated.
