 Male and Female Anak strain of broilers were raised on deep litter to investigate the effect of separating the sexes at the finisher phase on growth performance, carcass characteristics and breast muscle development between the sexes. The day-old chicks were raised as mixed sexes for four weeks starter period. Thereafter, 108 of the starter birds were distributed into three sex groups - male, female and mixed, each group replicated thrice and uniformly fed finisher diet for six weeks. The birds .were individually weighed weekly, Six birds representing each sex from each group were dissected at week 10 to compare performance in terms of external body parts, internal organs, fat depot, leg bones and breast muscles. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) between male and female of either sex groups in weekly body weight gains, feed consumption, utilisation, weight of breast muscles, internal organs, and fat deposit. Coefficient of variation was higher in male than female. Percentage male superiority was higher when the birds were raised as separated sexes than mixed. Male broilers raised as separate sex had significantly (P<0.05) heavier neck and thigh than the female, while in the mixed sex group, the male was significantly (P <0.05) higher than the female in back, breast, wing and tibia weights. Males in both sex groups recorded significantly (P<0.05) heavier head, drumstick, shank and femur. The result from this study has shown that there is no statistically significant advantage for separating the broiler chickens into sexes as a management practice during the finisher phase.

Nutritional Needs

An experiment was conducted to assess the influence of GGO on carcass features and sensory assessment of broiler chickens. 120 1-day-old (Arbo acre) birds were separated into five treatments, each with three replicates of 8 birds. Throughout the 8-week trial, clean feed and water were available at all times. NRC's basal diet was designed to suit avian nutritional needs (1994). A 0% GGO meal was given to the birds in treatment 1, whereas GGO levels of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 percent were given to the birds in treatments 2, 3, 4, and 5. As well as studying the phytochemical content of (Zingiber officinale) and garlic (Allium sativum) oil, carcass and organ features of birds were also studied. Zingiber officinale contains phenols (8.21%), alkaloids (5.12%), flavonoids (7.49%), tannins (6.52%), saponins (3.18%), streiods (2.38%), glycosides (0.18%), oxalates (0.07%), and phytate (0.07%). (0.02 %). Sativum contains flavonoids (10.67%) alkaloids (7.02%) tannins (4.72%) steroids (3.65%) saponin (2) glycoside (0.33%) oxalates (0.26%) and phytate (0.26%). (0.05 %). Dressing %, carcass and relative organ weights differed across treatments (P0.05). The liver, kidney, spleen, and other internal organs showed no signs of inflammation. GGO altered meat sensory assessment (tenderness, juiciness, taste, and fragrance) except meat color which was not significantly (P0.05) different across treatments. GGO may be fed to broilers up to 0.4 percent without affecting their health or performance.

A Six week study was carried out to investigate effect of different organic acids (OAs) fed through drinking water on carcass yield and internal organs weight of broiler chickens. The OAs were acetic acid (AA) butyric acid (BA), citric acid (CA) and formic acid (FA). One hundred and fifty (150) day old AborAcre-plus chicks were used. There were five treatments. Treatment 1 which served as control (CON) consumed water with no organic acid, while treatments 2,3, 4 and5 respectively were offered drinking water treated with 0.25% acetic acid (AA), butyric acid (BA), citric acid (CA) and formic acid (FA). Each treatment was replicated three times each having 10 birds arranged in completely randomized design (CRD). Feed and water were offered ad libitum. Results showed that dressed carcass weight and breast weight were improved by all the organic acids. While only AA positively influenced the thigh weight, all the OAs drinking water fed resulted to smaller drumstick compared to the CON. Feeding of AA, BA and FA through drinking water increased (PSO.05) deposition of abdominal fat. Weight of pancreas, small intestine, caecum and large intestine was significantly (P<0.05) higher in CON. The gall bladder was significantly (P<0.05) bigger in all the OA groups. Conclusively, OAs could be fed through the drinking water for improved percentage carcass yield, breast meat and larger gall bladder and invariably bile volume
