Four studies of six evaluations were conducted during the starting and fattening periods of broiler chicks. Different combinations of soybean meal, tuna fishmeal, and meat meal were evaluated. Net gain in weight and feed utilization were used as criteria for comparison. Proportions from 2:1 to 1:2 of soybean and tuna fishmeals gave best results in preliminary screening studies. In successive studies, when diets were equalized as to nitrogen, calories, phosphorus, and calcium, in which the latter did not exceed the 1-percent tolerance level, high quality meat meal containing 50-percent crude protein satisfactorily substituted up to 75 percent of the tuna fishmeal in the diets without adversely affecting the overall performance of the birds. The amount of sodium chloride supplied by the highest level of tuna fishmeal used in this study did not cause apparent adverse effects.

Overall Performance

Different combinations of soybean, tuna, and meat meals were evaluated using net gain and utilization of feed as criteria for comparison. Three studies were conducted, one during the starting and two during the growing periods using female chicks of the DeKalb strains. In all experiments the best combinations were those using zero or low percentages of meat meal with bone and tuna and soybean meals. A consistent decrease in overall performance resulted as the levels of meat meal with bone were increased in the diets. Levels of tuna fishmeal as high as 24% of the diets were satisfactory. In starting and growing diets for chicks of laying strains, the factor which may limit the use of tuna fishmeal is its cost compared to that of soybean meal or any other suitable substitute.

Three nutritional studies with laying hens and two organoleptic evaluations of the eggs produced are reported. Different combinations of soybean, tuna and meat meals were evaluated using laying intensity and utilization of feed as criteria for comparison. In all studies the groups receiving a combination of equal parts of tuna and soybean meals laid eggs as well or better than the groups fed otherwise. A decrease in overall performance resulted as the level of meat meal was increased. Organoleptic evaluations showed no differences in the odor of freshly broken uncooked eggs or the flavor of hard-boiled eggs representative of the diets tested. The results indicate that in practical-type laying diets with levels as high as 18% tuna meal, the only factor that may limit its use is its cost when compared to that of soybean meal or of any other suita ble substitute.

Different Levels

Five experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of rye level, ergot and penicillin on the utilization of rye by growing chicks. The effects of the following factors and/or treatments, respectively, were studied: increasing levels of rye replacing wheat in the diets for starting and finishing broiler chicks; ergot, pelleting and penicillin supplementation of rye diets; the cleaning of the beaks or vents of rye-fed chicks; and increasing levels of penicillin in rye diets containing different levels and types of protein supplements for Leghorn chicks. The results indicate that a diet containing 15% rye depressed the appetite and growth of young broiler chicks. Levels of rye higher than 15% in the diet depressed not only growth but also the efficiency of feed utilization in all chicks. The level of ergot in excess of three times that present in the uncleaned rye diet (0.11%) had no influence on chick performance. Wet excreta were produced by rye-fed but not by wheat-fed chicks. There was no relationship, however, between chick performance, and excreta "wetness," beak impaction and vent blockage. An improvement in chick performance was elicited by pelleting or penicillin supplementation of rye diets; the magnitude of the chick response to the latter treatment appeared to be influenced by the type and level of the dietary protein supplement. A dose-response study demonstrated that the maximum effective response to penicillin supplementation occurred when a rye–meat meal diet contained penicillin at or in excess of 160 mg/kg of diet; the corresponding maximum improvements in weight gain and the efficiency of feed utilization were 46 and 18%, respectively.

Quantitative estimates of disappearances of dry matter, nitrogen and amino acids anterior to the mid-point and terminal ileumof the small intestine were made in pigs prepared with re-entrant cannulas and offered six diets containing wheat alone or supplemented with either meat meal, fish meal, peanut meal, soybean meal or sunflower meal. Apparent digestibilities of dietary dry matter and nitrogen were also estimated by faecal measurements. Disappearance of dry matter and nitrogen was greater anterior to the mid-point than at the end of the small intestine and the rectum. Amounts disappearing at each location and between the three locations differed significantly between protein sources. Up to 10% of dietary dry matter and nitrogen disappeared in the large intestine. For lysine, methionine, threonine and valine, absorption was greater anterior than posterior to the midpoint of the small intestine for all diets except that containing only wheat. Measurements made of the disappearance of amino acids anterior to the large intestine indicated that the apparent availability of the majority of ammo acids of peanut meal, followed by soybean meal, was greater than those of meat meal (52 % crude protein) and fish meal (50 % crude protein).

Nigerian cocoa husks (CH) and cassava meal (CM) were evaluated chemically and biologically in comparison with Canadian yellow corn(C), Canadian soybean meal (SBM) and U.S.A. peanut meal (PNM) using weanling Sprague-Dawley rats. The growth experiment lasted 4 wk. Five major dietary energy-protein combinations were employed, one of which was supplemented with DL-methionine and L-lysine. Each major dietary category was subdivided into three isocaloric (3,600 kcal digestible energy/kg) subgroups containing 20, 16 and 12% crude protein respectively. The crude fat, crude protein and amino acid contents of the foodstuffs and prussic acid contents of CM and cassava root peels, and the theobromine content of detoxified and undetoxified CH were determined. Energy source substantially influenced the response to protein supplementation of the diets. Inclusion of CM at 30 to 50% of the diet gave the best overall performance. Isonitrogenous substitution of dethrobrominized CH for 6.7% corn in the C-PNM diet gave growth response and energy and nitrogen digestibilities which compared favorably with C-PNM or C-PNM supplemented with DL-methionine and L-lysine, thus suggesting that detheobrominized CH could be efficiently utilized in animal diets.

Similar Growth

Three groups, each of five pigs, of initial age 5–6 weeks and initial weight 12 kg, were placed on each of three wheat-soybean-meal-based diets of 18% crude protein content. The diets contained either (a) no antibiotic, (b) 110 mg/kg chlortetracycline hydrochloride, 110 mg/kg sulfamethazine and 55 mg/kg penicillin, or (c) diet (b) minus penicillin. Both antibiotic treatments produced a similar growth response of approximately 12%, which resulted partly from an increased feed intake and partly from an improved efficiency of feed utilization.

Sorghum Grain

In three experiments, a total of 112 pigs were individually fed sorghum grain-soybean meal diets based on either high protein grain (10.9 to 13.3 per cent crude protein, air dry basis) or low protein grain (6.5 to 7.4 per cent crude protein, air dry basis). Soybean meal was incorporated in the diets at four levels-16.6, 13.8, 10.7, and 7.4 per cent. In experiment 1 the experimental diets were fed from weaning to 86 kg liveweight. In experiment 2 the experimental diets were supplied from weaning to 45 kg liveweight with a common standard diet being provided from 45 kg liveweight to slaughter, In experiment 3 a common standard diet was supplied from weaning to 45 kg liveweight. The experimental diets were commenced at this liveweight and continued until slaughter. Level of protein in the grain had no significant effect on growth rate or feed efficiency in any experiment, but in experiment 2 the mean eye muscle index of the pigs receiving the high protein sorghum diets was significantly greater than that of the pigs receiving the low protein sorghum diets. As level of soybean meal in the diet decreased, there was a general tendency for growth rate and feed efficiency to decrease. In experiment 1, growth rate and feed efficiency were lower in pigs receiving the 10.7 and 7.4 per cent soybean meal diets, but only prior to a liveweight of 45 kg. In experiment 2, each reduction in level of soybean meal resulted in a reduction in growth rate and feed efficiency prior to 45 kg liveweight. There was no difference between groups from 45 kg to slaughter, when all pigs received the same ration. In experiment 3, which commenced at 45 kg liveweight, growth rate and feed efficiency were reduced only when the level of soybean meal was lowered to 7.4 per cent.
