Abstract

This study was carried out to determine effect of dietary supplementation of melon (Citrallus lanatus) seed oil (WMO) on the growth performance and immune response of growing rabbits. Thirty six (36), 5-6 weeks weaner rabbit of mixed breed and sex with an average weight of 435 g – 438 grams were randomly divided into four (4) treatments of nine rabbits per group and each rabbit served as a replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD). The experiment lasted for 12 weeks and all other management practices were strictly observed. Basal diet was formulated according to the nutrient requirements of rabbit according to NRC (1977). Treatment (T1) were fed basal diet with 0 % WMO, T2, T3 and T4 were fed basal diet supplemented with WMO at 0.2 %, 0.4 % and 0.6 % respectively. Results obtained were used to examine the average daily weight gain (ADWG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), feed: gain, mortality, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), reduced glutathione (GSH) and malonyldialdehyde (MLA). ADWG, feed: gain and mortality were significantly different (P˂0.05) among the treatments. ADFI increased as the level of WMO increases, though not at a significant level (P˃0.05). Highest mortality was recorded among animals in T1 (1.00 %), none was recorded in the other treatments (P˂0.05). Activities of SOD, GST, GSH and MLA were significantly (P˃0.05) influenced by WMO. It was concluded that dietary supplementation of WMO up to 0.6 % enhanced growth performance, improved feed: gain and had no negative effect on the antioxidant parameters of rabbits, it is safe and could be used to bridge the gap between food safety and production.

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to determine effect of dietary supplementation of Rauvolfia vomitoria root extract (RVME) as a phytogenic feed additive in growing rabbit diets: haematology and serum biochemical indices. Thirty (30) weaned rabbits of mixed breed and sex between 6-7 weeks with an average weight of 530.9 and 533.0 grams were divided into five treatments with three replicates per treatment consisting of 2 rabbits per replicate in a completely randomized design. Rabbits in treatment 1 (T1) were fed basal diet with 0 % RVME while T2, T3, T4 and T5 were given RVME at 20 ml, 40ml, 60 ml, and 80 ml/litre of water respectively. The experiment lasted for 12 weeks; food and water were provided ad libitum and all other management were strictly observed. Data collected were used to evaluate the some haematological and serum biochemical indices of animals. Haematological parameters covered pack cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), white blood cell (WBC) and its differentials while serum analysis contained total protein (Tp), globulin, albumin, creatinine, urea, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, aspartate serum aminotransferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT) and alanine phosphatase (ALP). All the haematological parameters were significantly (P ˂0.05) different among the treatment. Creatinine, urea and chloride ions not influenced by the dietary treatments (P > 0.05) while the other serum biochemical parameters were significantly (P ˂0.05) affected by RVME. Increasing the level of RVME from 20 ml to 80 ml tended to reduce ALP, AST and ALT values. It was concluded that feeding rabbits RVME at 80 ml/ liter did not cause any negative effect on the health of the animals; the data revealed that all values were within the physiological reference range for rabbits

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine Prosopis aficana stem bark (PASB) as an alternative to antibiotic feed additives in broiler chicken diets: performance and carcass and organ weight. A total of two hundred and fifty (250) one-day old broiler chicks of Arbo-acres strain of mixed sex were allotted into five (5) treatments of 5 replicates consisting of 10 birds each in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were given ad libitum and all necessary management practices were strictly observed throughout the experiment which lasted for 56 days. The dietary treatments include a control diet (T1) with no Prosopis aficana stem bark. PASB was included at 200 g, 400g, 600g and 800g in Treatment 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Results obtained were used to evaluate the growth performance (weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and mortality), carcass and organ weights. Weight gains (WG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly different (P˂0.05) among the treatments. However, increasing the level of Prosopis aficana stem bark from 200g to 800g tended to increase ADWG and ADFI. Highest mortality was recorded in T1 (1.8 %); none was recorded in the other treatments (P ˂ 0.05). Dressing percentage and organ weights were significantly (P ˂ 0.05) influenced by the different inclusions of PASB. No noticeable inflammation was observed in the internal organs (liver, heart, lungs, spleen and gizzard). It was concluded that PASB is rich in phytochemicals and also has significant therapeutic effects in animals and can be safely included in the diets of birds up to 800 g without any negative effect on the general performance of broiler chicks

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to study the effect of turmeric oil as a dietary supplement on the growth performance, carcass characteristics and blood profile of broiler chickens. Two hundred one-day-old commercial broiler chicks (Arbo acre) were reared in a deep litter poultry house and divided into five groups of forty (40) birds each. The groups were assigned to five dietary treatments each of the treatments had four replicates consisting of 10 birds each in a Completely Randomized Design. Basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirement of birds according to NRC (1994). Treatment 1 (T1) contained basal diet with 0 % turmeric oil (TOL), while T2, T3, T4 and T5 were fed diet supplemented with TOL at 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 % and 0.4 % respectively. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks during and the data obtained were used to evaluate the average daily weight gain (ADWG), average total feed intake (AFTI), mortality and relative organ /carcass weights. Significant differences (P<0.05) were recorded in the ADWG, ADFI and feed conversion ratio among the treatments. The relative weights of the organs and dressing percentage were significantly (P<0.05) influenced across the treatments. It was concluded that turmeric oil contains several bioactive chemicals which confers it the ability to perform multiple biological functions and its supplementation at 0.4 % does not have any deleterious effect on the general performance of the animal.
