Protein Supplementary Quality of Tropical Vegetable (Amaranthus cruentus) Leaf Meal in Broiler Starter Diets: Bionutritional Evaluation

Nutritional Evaluation of a High-Oil Sunflower Meal in Broiler Starter Diets

Two experiments were conducted with broiler chicks to determine the nutritive value of highoil sunflower meal (HO-SFM), a sunflower oil extraction by-product obtained through screw-press extraction and expanding processes with a proximate composition of 32% CP, 12% crude fiber, and 19% ether extract. In Experiment 1, the effects of a high level (46.4%) of HO-SFM on chick performance and gastroi...

Keratinase in starter diets improves growth of broiler chicks.

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of a broad-spectrum protease enzyme, PWD-1 keratinase, upon supplementation to corn-soy starter diets on growth performance of broiler chickens. Three experiments were conducted. In each experiment, 1-d-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 24 cage pens of eight birds per pen in a completely randomized design of five experimental ...

Evaluation of Sesame Meal Replacement in Broiler Diets with Phytase and Probiotic Supplementation

1 Two trials were conducted to evaluate sesame seed meal (SSM) replacement of broiler diets ingredients. The 1 st trial included 5 major dietary treatments using 360 day old Ross commercial broilers: 1) Corn + soybean meal (SBM) "control diet"; 2) Corn + SSM; 3) Corn + [50% SBM + 50% SSM]; 4) Corn + [25% SBM + 75% SSM]; and 5) Corn + [75% SBM + 25% SSM]. Each treatment was then divided into 4 s...

Haematological and serum biochemical indices of starter broilers fed leaf meal of neem (Azadirachta indica)

A 28-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf meal on the haematological and serum biochemical indices of starter broilers. The Neem leaves used in the experiment were manually harvested, air-dried and milled to become Neem leaf meal. The Neem leaf meal was included in broiler starter diets at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10% levels,...
