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.

Abstract

Heat stress impairs embryonic development, hatchability, growth, and antioxidant defense in poultry. Vitamin E and selenium are complementary antioxidants that may improve performance under stressful conditions. This study evaluated in ovo injection of vitamin E–selenium on hatchability, chick quality, blood biochemistry, thyroid hormones, and post-hatch growth of Japanese quail exposed to cyclic heat stress (35°C, 60% relative humidity, 8 h/day). A total of 620 fertile eggs were incubated, and on day 14 viable eggs were allocated to five groups (100 each): a non-injected control, a distilled-water control (0.02 mL), and three groups injected with 0.01, 0.02, or 0.03 mL vitamin E–selenium into the amniotic cavity. All treated groups showed significantly higher hatchability than controls (P < 0.05), increasing from 76.54% to 83.78%, while embryonic mortality fell from 23.46% to 16.22%. At 35 days, final body weight rose from 145.21 g to 150.91 g, and feed conversion ratio improved from 2.63 to 2.47 (P < 0.05). Serum total protein, albumin, globulin, and thyroid hormones (T3, T4) were unaffected (P > 0.05). In ovo vitamin E–selenium enhances hatchability and post-hatch growth of heat-stressed quail without adversely affecting blood biochemical or endocrine parameters, indicating a practical strategy under heat stress.
