Four experiments were carried out to ascertain the nutritive value and quality of oat groats (OG) as a partial replacement for corn and total replacement for wheat in practical diets for broiler chicken using one commercial broiler genotype, Cobb. In each of experiments 1 and 2, 360 day-old chicks of each sex were housed in Petersime batteries and fed starter (1–21 days) and finisher (23–42 days) diets containing 0, 200 and 400 g of Eastern (E) OG or Western (W) OG/kg. In each of experiments 3 and 4, 320 day-old chicks of each sex were housed in eight floor pens and fed starter diets containing 0, 400 and 600 g EOG/kg and finisher diets containing 0, 400, 600 and 800 g EOG/kg. Feeding up to 600 g/kg OG in starter diets and 800 g/kg in finisher diets had no significant adverse effect on biological performance or monetary returns.

Sorghum grain (SG) contained more crude protein (103.5 g/kg) and ash (17.0 g/kg) but less crude fiber (17.7 g/kg) and total lipid (22.6 g/kg) than corn. The SG contained 0.37% ± 0.02 tannin, had a higher apparent metabolizable energy value than corn or wheat and contained all of the amino acids considered essential for chickens at levels in general between those of corn and wheat. Two experiments were carried out to ascertain the nutritive value of SG as a partial replacement for corn and wheat in practical poultry diets using 320 male and 320 female Cobb chicks in each. Starter (finisher) diets fed from 0–21 days (22–42 days) contained the following levels of SG: 15 (19); 30 (39); 45 (58)%. The diets were isoenergic and isonitrogenous. The inclusion of up to 45% SG in the starter diet and up to 58% in the finisher diet had no significant effect on mortality, live body weight, feed conversion or percentage of grade A carcasses.

Ad Libitum Feeding

Two experiments were carried out to ascertain the nutritional value of potato waste meal (PW) as a replacement for corn in practical poultry diets using 320 male and 320 female Cobb chicks fed from 1-day-old to 46 days (exp. 1) and 49 days (exp. 2) a basal cereal-based diet containing soybean and fishmeals or test diets each containing 50 g, 100 g, 150 g, 200 g and 300 g PW/kg. In both experiments, the diets were analyzed for elemental and amino acid composition, and the growth responses on the test diets were evaluated individually over a period of 28 days and 46 days or 49 days of ad libitum feeding. Although PW appeared limiting with respect to methionine and cystine, arginine and the aromatic amino acids, it was found that upon supplementation with methionine (0.5 g/kg), the test mixtures exhibited a synergistic effect compared with controls, and that this potato byproduct can be considered a good substitute ingredient for a proportion (200 g/kg) of the ground corn in a practical diet for broiler chickens. Feeding PW at a rate of up to 200 g/kg resulted in optimum biological response and monetary returns. The inclusion of up to 300 g/kg PW in the diets did not increase wetness of the litter or hardness of pellets, two factors reported earlier which could limit the use of PW in animal diets.

The article presents the results of studying the impact of the spore-forming probiotic “Olin” and the prebiotic “Eсofiltrum” on the meat quality of broiler chicken carcasses of the Ross-308 cross. In the course of the research, it has been found that the inclusion of these preparations in the broiler diet has a positive effect on the studied indicators: the pre-slaughter weight increased by 4.3-5.7%, the weight of the gutted carcass by 4.6-6.2%, the muscle weight 4.8-6.5%, the weight of the loin muscles by 5.7-8.2%. The ratio of edible parts to inedible parts is 4.14 in the third experimental group, 4.08-in the second, and 4.04-in the control. Based on the results of the anatomical cutting of broiler carcasses and according to the fatness indicators the poultry carcasses of the third and second experimental groups, 87.5% and 87.2%, respectively, belong to the first grade, and the yield of the first grade carcasses is 86.2% in the control group. Meat products obtained from both the control poultry and the poultry of both experimental groups has no off-aroma odor and taste, the meat is juicy, tender and aromatic. The products obtained from broiler chickens, whose ration includes the probiotic “Olin” and the prebiotic “Ecofiltrum”, do not have any deviations from the established standards and norms. During the research, it has been found that the use of the studied drugs has a positive effect on the meat quality of poultry carcasses. However, broiler chickens receiving the probiotic “Olin” has more pronounced meat qualities.

Vegetable feed additive “Biostrong 510” based on essential oils and plant substances contains active substances exclusively of vegetable origin, which have a more intense eff ect on the animal’s body. The mechanism of action is based on the synergism of several plant substances containing active substances that, when combined, aff ect a certain category of animals. The additive contains essential oils, herbal plants, and seasonings such as anise oil, thyme oil, gentian powder, chili paprika powder, and quillaya extract. The purpose of the research was to determine the feasibility and eff ectiveness of fortifi cation of compound feed with the vegetable feed additive based on essential oils and vegetable substances to increase meat productivity and meat quality. In order to study the eff ectiveness of feeding vegetable feed additive in compound feed for broiler chickens under the conditions of LLC “Akashevskaya poultry Farm” in the Republic of Mari El, a scientifi c and economic experiment has been carried out. Experiments have been performed on broiler chickens of the cross Cobb-500 from the daily to 40-day age of the birds. The eff ect of the vegetable feed additive “Biostrong 510” based on essential oils and vegetable substances on meat productivity and nutritional value of broiler chicken meat has been studied in the paper. The level of feeding and the quality of the feed consumed by poultry has a big infl uence on meat productivity. The use of our selected vegetable feed additive based on essential oils and vegetable substances increase the slaughter weight by 9,0–13,7 %, the slaughter yield by 2–5 %, the amount of muscle tissue and meat qualities of carcasses. The best results have been obtained by including the vegetable feed additive based on essential oils and plant substances in the amount of 0,015 % of the dry substance of the feed.

Many studies have been carried out to reduce dietary mineral premix level with no adverse effect on broiler performance. Controversial results have been reported in this respect. Deyhim et al (1994) showed that at normal temperature and also under heat stress at 28-49 days of age, removing mineral and vitamin supplements cause reduction in performance, but withdrawal of mineral premix alone, didn’t affect production. Christmas et al (1995) suggest that it is possible to removing vitamin and mineral supplements from finisher diets of broiler chickens at last week of raring period. The aim of this trail was study of effect of withdrawing or reduction mineral premix from diets with normal vitamin premix level on broilers performance.

In order to examine the interactive effects of strontium and cholecalciferol in broiler nutrition a total of 288 male broiler chickens were fed over 28 days, eight different diets with six replicates comprising of two levels of vitamin D (5000 and 10 000 IU/kg) and four levels of strontium (0, 400, 800 and 1200 mg/kg) provided as strontium carbonate. Vitamin D and strontium produced a significant interaction on growth and feed efficiency with the addition of higher levels of vitamin D ameliorating the negative effects of strontium at 1200 mg/kg. The higher level of vitamin D also improved bodyweight gain (P < 0.05), had no effect on tibia bone composition but reduced calcium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium retention (P < 0.05). Strontium supplementation produced no advantage to chicken performance but changed tibia bone composition. It was found that calcium and sodium maintained a ratio of ~30 : 1 in tibia bone. Vitamin D and strontium produced a significant physiological interaction and further research is required to elucidate optimum levels of supplementation for commercial broiler chicken production.

Broiler chicken diets were diluted with three levels of whole wheat and two levels of crumbled wheat to determine how feeding whole grain and diluting feed with wheat would alter the performance of male and female broilers. Grit was not used. The amount of extra wheat added increased from 5% at 11 d of age to a maximum level of 30% at 31 d of age. Body weight at 41 d of age averaged 2.130 kg for pullets and 2.422 kg for cockerels and was unaffected by diluting with wheat, in whole or crumbled form. Total mortality and cause of mortality were similarly unaffected by dilution and form of wheat. The feed:gain ratio from 11 to 41 d of age was increased significantly for cockerels from 1.75 at zero dilution to 1.84 at maximum dilution. Dilution did not affect the feed conversion of pullets and form did not influence the feed conversion of either sex. Dilution of broiler rations may be profitable because of the limited effect on bird performance. Pelleting all the wheat in poultry rations is unnecessary because bird performance is unaffected by feeding up to 30% whole grain in the finisher diets.

The Cost

One of the efforts to fulfill the community's nutritional resources derived from animal protein is by broiler farming business. In order for broiler chickens to achieve optimal productivity then the provision of proper rations in both quality and quantity must be met, but the obstacle in improving the quality of the ration is the cost of ration is large enough. It is necessary to research the feed material that is able to meet the needs of broiler chicken one of them is the leaves kelor. This research used broiler strain CP-707 as much as 60 tail. The method used is CRD (Completely Randomized Design) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were rations with no addition of moringa flour (PO), ration with addition of 3% maize flour (P1), ration with addition of 6% maize flour (P2), ration with addition of maize flour 9% (P3), ration with the addition of 12% maize flour (P4). The variables observed in this study were carcass weight, carcass percentage and non carcass percentage. From the results of this study it can be concluded that the addition of moringa flour on ration to 12% level on carcass weight, carcass percentage and non carcass percentage statistically show different not significant.

The effect of the mannan-oligosaccharide Bio-Mos on broiler chicken performance, after its incorporation in the starter diet was evaluated. A total of 53,040 one day-old Cobb chicks, randomly divided into two groups with four replicates each, were used in a feeding trial that lasted 40 days. One of the groups (Control group) was fed on a basal commercial starter diet, while the other (Bio-Mos group) was given up to day 10 of age the same diet supplemented with the mannan-oligosaccharide Bio-Mos at the level of 1.5 g/kg of feed. From day 11 of age and thereafter, Bio-Mos administration was discontinued and both groups were given the same basal commercial grower and finisher diets. Results showed that chickens in the Bio-Mos fed group exhibited a significant (P<0.05) improvement in body weight compared to control at day 10 (295 vs 254 g) and day 40 (2108 vs 2017 g) of age. Feed intake per bird from day-old to day 40 of age showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the Bio-Mos group compared to control (3647 vs 3612 g), whereas feed conversion ratios also demonstrated a significant (P<0.05) improvement for the Bio-Mos group (1.73 vs 1.79). Mortality rate was lower in the Bio-Mos group compared to control (2.5 vs 2.9%), however, the difference was not statistically (P>0.05) significant.

An eight week feeding trial was conducted to assess the effect of substituting maize with biscuit waste meal on the blood constituents of 144- day old Anak 2000 broiler chickens. Four experimental broiler starter and finisher diets were formulated with diet 1 serving as control to contain 0% Biscuit Waste Meal, while diets 2, 3 and 4 were formulated to contain BWM at 25, 50 and 75% inclusion levels for maize. The chicks were randomly assigned to the four treatment diets (1, 2, 3 and 4) in a completely randomized designed (CRD) and each treatment group contained three replicates with twelve chickens per replicate. Results on the blood constituents of broiler chickens fed treatment diets revealed that there is no significant (P>0.05) variation in the haematological indices assayed in this study. However, serum chemistry showed that total protein (3.13), albumin (1.30), and globulin (1.83x10mg/100ml) were significantly (P<0.05) higher in birds fed 75% BWM. Total bilirubin was highest (P<0.05) in birds fed diet 20.39x10mg/dl and least in control diet0.30x10mg/dl. Serum aspartate transaminase was higher (P<0.05) in birds that ate 25% BWM (76.67iu/g) though had values to 74.33 and 70.00iu/g in birds placed on diets 1 and 4, respectively. Serum alkaline phosphate 185.67 iu/g was also higher (P<0.05) in birds fed the control diet and least (182.33 iu/g) in birds placed on diet 4. From the overall results it is concluded that the inclusion of BWM in the diet of broiler chickens up to 50% improved the blood quality of broiler chickens.
