Rabbits are known to be highly prolific animals with short gestation period and can thrive well on cheaper and available alternative feeds such as castor seeds especially when properly processed and supplemented with the right additive. Twenty weaner composite rabbits weighing approximately 660.45±12.05g/rabbit were utilized in an experiment to evaluate effect of toasted castor seed meal (TCSM) on growth and blood parameters of grower rabbits supplemented with quantum blue® enzyme. The rabbits were allotted to four isonitrogenous (15% crude protein) and isocaloric (2850kcal/kg, ME) diets with two levels (0 and 30%) of TCSM and two levels of enzymes (0 and 100PPM) in a 2X2 factorial arrangement of a Completely Randomized Design. Growth parameters and blood constituents were measured. The results obtained showed that all the growth parameters evaluated were not significantly (P>0.05) influenced by enzyme supplementation except for initial weight which was significantly (P<0.05) reduced (1818.75 vs. 1368.75 g/rabbit). Similarly, inclusion of TCSM significantly (P<0.05) reduced initial (1862.50 vs. 1325.00 g/rabbit) and final (2112.50 vs. 1204.17 g/rabbit) weights of the rabbits. Also, there was significant improvement (P<0.05) in serum calcium (3.00 mmol/L), creatinine (82.67mg/L) and albumin concentration (25.67 vs. 30.67 and 25.33 g/L) in rabbits fed high TCSM and enzyme supplementation. In conclusion, inclusion of 30% TCSM supplemented with quantum blue ®enzyme at 100 ppm reduced the effect of TCSM on the animals and improves acceptance, absorption and utilization of feed by grower rabbits without compromising their health status.

A 42- day experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of grower rabbits fed cooked sunflower seed meal (SFSM) supplemented with enzyme on nutrient digestibility and blood parameters using 72 growing rabbits. Nine diets namely T1 to T9 were compounded to be isocaloric (2500 kcal/kg, ME) and isonitrogenous (15%) with treatments T1, T2 and T3 having 0% inclusion rate of SFS meal and 0PPM, 150PPM and 250PPM of the enzyme supplementation. Treatments T4 to T6 and T7 to T9 had 10 and 20% levels of SFS meal inclusion rate respectively but maintaining same levels of enzyme supplementation as in T1 to T3. This arrangement translated to T1, T4 and T7 serving as the control diets for T2 and T3, T5 and T6 and T8 to T9, respectively. The rabbits were allotted to the three levels of SFS meal (0,10 and 20%) and three levels of enzyme supplementation (0,150, and 250PPM) in a 3x3 factorial arrangement of a completely randomized design (CRD) to produce nine treatment diets. The treatments were replicated four times. Crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre and cellulose were significantly (P<0.05) higher in rabbit fed 20% (84.58%, 72.24%, 67.16% and 64.27%) SFS diet than 0% (64.20%, 66.68%, 59.40% and 57.81%) and 10% (76.88%, 70.63%, 64.04% and 61.90%) respectively. Enzyme supplementation significantly (P<0.05) improved RBC, the values increased from 5.23 x1012/l for non-enzyme supplementation to 5.38 -5.73 x1012/l. Red blood cell and was significantly (P<0.05) lower in rabbits fed T4 diet than the other groups. Similarly, haemoglobin (11.42 vs. 11.37 and 12.01 g/dl), cholesterol (3.83 vs. 4.33 and 4.31mmol/l) and triglyceride (0.95 vs. 1.16 and 1.03mmol/l) were improved (P<0.05) as the level of enzyme supplementation increased in the diets. In view of the significant improvement in nutrient digestibility and some of the blood parameters recorded, rabbit farmers can use the 150 PPM of the enzyme in SFS meal based diets without affecting the nutrient digestibility and health of the rabbits.   Une expérience de 42 jours a été menée pour évaluer la réponse de lapins en croissance nourris avec de la farine de graines de 'sunflower' cuite (le 'SFSM') supplémentée en enzyme sur la digestibilité des nutriments et les paramètres sanguins en utilisant 72 lapins en croissance. Neuf régimes à savoir T1 à T9 ont été composés pour être iso caloriques (2500 kcal / kg, ME) et iso nitrogènes (15%) avec les traitements T1, T2 et T3 ayant un taux d'inclusion de 0% de repas 'SFS' et '0PPM', 150PPM et 250PPM de la supplémentation enzymatique. Les traitements T4 à T6 et T7 à T9 avaient respectivement 10 et 20% de taux d'inclusion de repas SFS, mais conservaient les mêmes niveaux de supplémentation enzymatique que dans T1 à T3. Cet arrangement traduit en T1, T4 et T7 servant de régimes de contrôle pour T2 et T3, T5 et T6 et T8 à T9, respectivement. Les lapins ont été attribués aux trois niveaux de repas SFS (0,10 et 20%) et à trois niveaux de supplémentation enzymatique (0,150 et 250 PPM) dans un arrangement factoriel 3x3 d'une conception complètement randomisée (CRD) pour produire neuf régimes de traitement. Les traitements ont été répétés quatre fois : les fibres brutes, les fibres détergentes neutres, les fibres détergentes acides et la cellulose étaient significativement plus élevées (P <0,05) chez le lapin nourri à 20% (84,58%, 72,24%, 67,16% et 64,27%) régime 'SFS' que 0% (64,20%, 66,68%, 59,40% et 57,81%) et 10% (76,88%, 70,63%, 64,04% et 61,90%) respectivement. La supplémentation enzymatique a considérablement amélioré (P <0,05) les globules rouges, les valeurs ont augmenté de 5,23 x 1012 / l pour la supplémentation non enzymatique à 5,38 -5,73 x 1012 / l Les globules rouges étaient significativement (P <0,05) plus bas chez les lapins nourris au régime T4 que les autres groupes. De même, l'hémoglobine (11,42 vs 11,37 et 12,01 g / dl), le cholestérol (3,83 vs 4,33 et 4,31 mmol / l) et les triglycérides (0,95 vs 1,16 et 1,03 mmol / l) ont été améliorés (P <0,05) à mesure que le niveau de supplémentation enzymatique augmentait dans les régimes. A cause de l'amélioration significative de la digestibilité des nutriments et de certains des paramètres hématologiques enregistrés, les éleveurs de lapins peuvent utiliser les 150 PPM de l'enzyme dans les régimes à base de repas 'SFS' sans poser aucun problème à la digestibilité des nutriments et la santé des lapins.

 The aim of this study was to assess the effect of propylene glycol (PG) added to the water sheep drank during lactation on protein and mineral metabolites of their suckling lambs. We assessed 24 lambs born to sheep fed levels of propylene glycol in the water (0; 1.5; 3.0 and 4.5%). The sheep were subdivided according to a completely randomized design, in a split-plot scheme. There was no interaction effect between lamb age and amount of PG provided to the sheep on the concentration of protein and mineral metabolites of the lambs. The concentration of total protein, globulin, and albumin: globulin ratio, uric acid and creatinine in the lambs was not affected by the inclusion of PG (p > 0.05). The concentration of urea and magnesium in the lambs presented a quadratic response as a function of the addition of PG; there was linear response for albumin concentration. The addition of PG to the sheep’s diet and the lambs’ age affect the concentration of protein and mineral metabolites in the lambs. However, using PG to feed lactating sheep does not have negative effects on the lambs’ blood parameters, as evidenced by the absence of nutritional deficiency (protein and minerals) in the suckling lambs.

SUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate biometric viscera and blood parameters of quails at 14 and 35 days of age, supplemented with different levels of inorganic selenium and vitamin E. A completely randomized design was used in a 4×4 factorial scheme (inorganic Se = 0.1125, 0.2250, 0.3375 and 0.4500 mg/kg diet x VE = 10, 23, 36 and 49 IU/kg feed). In the 0-14 days experiment, 2,400 newborn quail were used, distributed in 16 treatments and three replications of 50 birds each. In the 14-35 days experiment, 1,680 14 day-old quails were used with same treatments and three replicates of 35 birds each. At 14 days, the relative spleen weights (P=0.0203) increased linearly as a function of the VE level, while at 35 days, the relative weight of the bursa (P=0.0390) increased linearly as a function of Se concentration. At 14 days, there was a vitamin x mineral interaction (p=0.0097) affecting total cholesterol (TC), and a quadratic effect (P = 0.0138) related to Se and linear reduction levels (P=0.0275) as a function of VE. At 35 days, the TC concentrations (P=0.0055) and triglycerides (TG, P = 0.0220) showed a quadratic effect for Se. The linear increase in spleen weight and bursa after 14 and 35 days respectively suggests an improved immune response as a function of VE and Se supplementation. To achieve the lowest concentration of TC and TG at 35 days of age, supplementation of 0.26 and 0.29 mg/Se/kg/feed, respectively, is recommended.

Sixty 7-week-old New Zealand White rabbits were randomly distributed into 5 equal experimental groups. The experimental rabbits were fed the tested diets till 14 weeks of age during summer season. The basal diet without feed additives (control; T1) and the other experimental diets were supplemented with enzymes at 0.5 g/kg (T2), organic acids at 1.0 g/kg (T3), Beta-pro at 0.2 g/kg (T4) or their combination (T5). The criteria of response were body weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, some blood constituents, carcass traits and economic efficiency. The obtained results can be summarized as follows: Positive effects of feed additives were observed on live body weight, daily weight gain and feed conversion of growing rabbits. There were no significant effects on blood parameters or carcass traits due to feed additives. It can be concluded that dietary Beta-pro (enzymes+probiotics) or a combination of enzymes, organic acids and Beta-pro at the tested levels can be used to improve the rabbit performance, with no adverse effects on carcass characteristics or blood parameters.

Delonix regia is commonly called Flamboyant or flame of the forest. The seeds were fermented, boiled, sundried and then ground into powdered meal. 40% crude protein based test diets containing Delonix regia seed meal D0 = 0%; D15 = 15%; D20 = 20% and D25 = 25% inclusion levels respectively were prepared. Red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings of 6 weeks old were acclimatized for two weeks and then stocked in 12 hapas at 15 fish per hapa measuring 0.6 m × 1.2 m × 0.7 m placed in a concrete tank. Each diet was assigned to fish in a separate hapa in triplicate and administered at 3% fish body weight per day for 16 weeks. Fish weight and length were taken initially, bi-weekly and terminally. Water quality was monitored weekly. Number of fish at the end was recorded and survival rate, growth, feed utilization, fillet yield and blood parameters were determined. The data were subjected to the analysis of variance and mean separation (P= 0.05). Survival rate was highest in fish raised on D20 and least in D25 without any significant difference across the range. Mean growth performances, feed utilization indices and fillet yield were generally congruent between D20 and D25 with varying degrees of significant difference to other feeds. Results of blood assay did not depict harmful effects of the test diets indicating that the fish enjoyed some good measures of health. The gross performance of fish on D20 was optimal. It was therefore concluded that 20% dietary inclusion level of fermented, cooked and dried flamboyant seed was the best for the red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) post fingerlings.
