Abstract

This research investigated the impact of kidney stone leaf meal on the performance of broiler chickens. A total of 200 one-day-old Ross 308 chicks were randomly distributed into the five treatments, each consisting four replicates. Water and feed were supplied ad libitum for 45 days. Weight gain was (P<0.05) higher in day 24 at 5% KSLM, and day 45 in 5% and 7.5% KSLM, and lower in 10% KSLM while no (P>0.05) in feed intake. Again, 5% and 7.5% KSLM (P<0.05) had best FCR and livability. The 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% KSLM (P<0.05) showed higher de-feathered and carcass weights, but higher breast weight in 5% and 7.5% KSLM. At day 45, intestinal weights (P<0.05) increased with increase KSLM, while gizzard, lungs, kidneys, crop, liver, and spleen were (P>0.05) unaffected. White blood cells, lymphocytes, and monocytes were (p<0.05) higher in 7.5% and 10% KSLM. Total protein and globulin were (P<0.05) similar in all the treatments except 10% KSLM. The 10% KSLM also showed (P<0.05) increased AST and ALT, and lower cholesterol. The conclusion drawn is that 5–7.5% KSLM can enhance performance of broiler, and limiting to 5% is advisable to improve immune system

Abstract

This study assessed sustainable poultry practices and the technical efficiency of poultry egg farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria. A sample of 276 farmers was selected using multistage sampling technique. A stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) based on the Cobb-Douglas production function was used to estimate efficiency levels and examine how sustainable poultry practices influence technical efficiency. Descriptive results showed that poultry production is largely male‑dominated (84.7%), and most farmers had tertiary education. The average age and farming experience were 45 years and 5.74 years respectively. Major sustainable poultry practices adopted (mean = 3.00) included protecting poultry houses from rain, sun, and wind; regular cleaning and disinfection; providing clean water daily; ensuring quality balanced feed; using feeders and drinkers that minimize wastage; following vaccination and deworming schedules; controlling flies and odors; storing manure away from water sources; involving women in farm management; and keeping proper financial records. The mean technical efficiency was 0.89, indicating that farmers operated close to the production frontier. In the inefficiency model, sustainable poultry practices had a significant negative coefficient, showing that higher adoption reduces technical inefficiency and improves efficiency. The study recommends that agricultural policy frameworks promote and incentivize sustainable poultry practices.
