Abstract

The study aimed at determining the nutrigenetic effect of Moringa oleifera (MOSM) on obesity, liver and kidney function parameter of broilers and local chicken. Moringa oleifera has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. A total of 96 broiler chickens and 96 local chickens were randomly assigned to 4 dietary treatment groups. Each group contained 24 birds (8 birds per replicate in 3 replicates) each for both genotypes of chicken in a factorial layout within a completely randomized design such that birds in each genotype were randomly allocated to four diets (control diet contained 0% MOSM and 5%, 10% and 15% graded levels of MOSM as diets 2, 3 and 4 respectively). Obesity was determined through weekly measurement of body weight and body mass index (BMI). Serum total cholesterol, kidney and liver functioning parameters were determined at week 8 by analyzing for creatinine, ALT, AST and ALP. Broilers exhibited higher creatinine, total cholesterol, ALT, AST and ALP but no significant difference (P0.05). Broilers exhibited significantly higher (p0.05) BMI than YENLC. G* Ed interactions were observed at age 8 weeks. MOSM resulted in significantly higher (P0.05) BMI in birds fed 10% MOSM at week 8. Increasing levels of MOSM also yielded reduction in the level of total cholesterol for both genotypes. There was no significant (P0.05) interaction between genotype and MOSM utilization by the chickens and BMI at week 8, cholesterol, creatinine, ALT, AST and ALP. Thus, dietary intervention through the inclusion of MOSM is effective in lowering heart disease risk through lowering of adiposity (BMI) and cholesterolaemia and it has little or no toxic effect as AST and ALP were not significantly affected.

Abstract

Principal component analyses were used to evaluate sexual dimorphism and the relationship among morphometric traits of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). A total of 153-day old quails (92 males and 61 females) were used in the study. The birds were housed in a wooden cage and fed ad-libitum. Data on body weight, body length, body girth, shank length, drumstick, wing length, keel length and shank length were obtained on a weekly basis using digital scale balance, measuring tape, and vernier caliper for a period of eight weeks. Principal component analysis was performed on the data obtained using the dimension reduction with factor analysis and morphometric traits were also correlated with body weight using SPSS statistical package version 21. Female birds had a significant higher (p0.05) body weight, body girth, drumstick, and wing length value than male counterpart, while no significant difference was observed for body length and shank diameter in both genders. A significant (p0.05) high and positive correlation coefficient was obtained between body weight and other linear measurements in both sexes. For both the male and female birds, one principal component was extracted, which explained 87.79 percent and 91.34 percent of the total variation observed in both species, respectively. . The principal components had its highest loading on keel length for both male and female Japanese quail and correlated highly with all parameters measured. Thus, the keel length could be used as selection criteria for improving body weight of Japanese quail.

Abstract

The use of medicinal plants is gaining popularity all over the world; hence there is a need to exploit various plants that could be of economic importance to animal. Centella asiatica is one of such plants that are underutilized. This study was conducted to investigate the utilization of Centella asiatica leaf meal as feed additive in layers production. The study was carried out in two phases, the grower phase and layer phase. A total number of 150 birds were used at 10 birds per replicate of 3 replicates per treatments of a total of 5 treatments. The diets contained Centella asiatica leaf meal at five levels of inclusion 0.0%(control), 0.2%,0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% at grower and layer phases. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design layout. Hence, Centella asiatica leaf meal showed potentials of being natural growth promoting additive. Centella asiatica leaf meal used as additive at 0.2-0.8% inclusion level significantly increased (p0.05) final live weight, weight gain and improved feed conversion ratio at grower and layer phases. 0.6% inclusion of CALM increased packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb) and 0.8% inclusion of CALM increased red blood cell (RBC) values at grower phase.  At layer phase, 0.6% inclusion of CALM significantly increased (p0.05) PCV and RBC while 0.8% CALM significantly increased (p0.05) haemoglobin (Hb) value but there was significant reduction (p0.05) in total bacteria count (TBC) at the caecum and ileum of birds at grower and layer phases respectively.  0.8% CALM inclusion resulted in significantly highest (p0.05) weight of eggs, hen day egg production at 4th, 8th and 12th week in lay. 0.6% inclusion of CALM significantly improved (p0.05) egg weight and yolk weight score at 12th weeks in lay. The inclusion of Centella asiatica leaf meal in the diets of Isa Brown grower and laying phases, resulted in better blood profile, haematological and serum biochemical parameters, gut microbial population, egg production and quality of laying hens.
