Performance and egg qualities of laying japanese quails fed yam peel meal based diets with enzymes complex + yeast supplementation

A 10-week experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of enzyme complex + yeast (Maxigrain®, MXG®) supplementation of sun-dried yam peel meal (YPM) based diet of laying Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on performance and egg quality. A total of 240, seven-weeks old quails were distributed in a completely randomize design with four dietary treatments and five replicates of 12 quails each. Diet 1 served as the control diet without YPM while diet 2, 3, and 4 contained 25, 50, and 75% YPM with MXG® supplementation (1g per kg), respectively. MXG® supplementation in YPM diets improved (p < 0.05) egg mass and feed conversion per egg. Increasing levels of YPM with MXG® supplementation did not show any effect (p > 0.05) on internal and external egg quality attributes except for eggshell weight and thickness which was higher (p < 0.05) in quails fed 75% YPM diet. It was concluded, therefore, that the utilization of YPM as an alternative dietary ingredient with MXG® supplementation can be tolerated in the diets of laying Japanese quails up to 75% inclusion level without any negative effect on productive and egg quality performance.(AU)

Effect of dietary probiotic supplementation on carcass traits and haematological responses of broiler chickens fed shea butter cake based diets / Efeito da suplementação dietética de probiótico sobre as características de carcaça e respostas hematológicas de frangos de corte alimentados com dietas à base de bolo de manteiga de carité

A 42-day study was conducted to investigate probiotic supplementation on shea butter cake (SBC) based diets of broilers on the carcass traits and haematological indices. A total of 280, 1-day old Arbor acres strain broiler chicks were divided into 7 dietary treatments with 4 replicates of 10 birds each in a completely randomized design. Diet 1 (control diet) has no SBC and probiotic supplementation while remaining 6 diets contained 5, 10, and 15% levels of SBC each with (+) or without (-) probiotic supplementation. The results showed that carcass parameters and prime cuts weights increased (p 0.05) in birds fed probiotic-SBC diets compared to control diets. Abdominal fat content was lower (p 0.05) in birds fed probiotic-SBC diets than those on control and non-probiotic SBC diets. Differences in relative organ weights among all treatments were non-significant (p > 0.05) except for liver and bursa weight. Packed cell volume and hemoglobin contents were higher (p 0.05) in birds fed probiotic-SBC diets than the group without probiotic supplementation compared to those on control diet. In conclusion, supplementation of multi-strain probiotic improved carcass traits, prime cut-parts and relative organ weights without any adverse effect on the blood parameters up to 15% inclusion level.

Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a suplementação de probiótico em dietas à base de bolo de manteiga de carité - sheabuttercake (SBC) sobre as características de carcaça e índices hematológicos de frangos de corte. Foram utilizados 280 frangos de corte da linhagem Arbor acres, distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com sete tratamentos, quatro repetições e dez aves por repetição. Foi formulada uma dieta sem SBC nem probiótico e utilizada como dieta controle. As demais dietas experimentais continham 5, 10 e 15% de SBC e com (+) ou sem (-) a suplementação de probiótico. Os parâmetros de carcaça e o peso dos cortes nobres aumentaram (p < 0.05) nas aves que receberam as dietas com (+) SBC probiótico quando comparadas com o controle. O teor de gordura abdominal foi menor (p < 0.05) nas aves que receberam as dietas com (+) SBC-probiótico do que nas aves alimentas com a dieta controle ou com (-) SBC sem probiótico. Não foram observadas diferenças (p < 0.05) para o peso relativo dos órgãos, exceto para o peso do fígado e da bolsa cloacal. A quantidade de eritrócitos e hemoglobina foram maiores (p < 0.05) nas aves que receberam as dietas com (+) SBC-probiótico quando comparadas com o tratamento controle. A suplementação com probiótico em até 15% melhorou as características de carcaça e o peso relativo dos cortes nobres e órgãos sem nenhum efeito adverso nos parâmetros sanguíneos.
