Abstract/Description: | An experiment was conducted to study the performance of broilers on replacement of maize with different levels of whole and peeled cassava tuber meals. One hundred twenty five day old broiler chicks of either sex were randomly divided into five groups having equal No. of chicks in each group. The control group (T1) was provided with conventional ration without any cassava tuber meal. The chicks of T2 and T3 were provided with ration by replacing maize with whole cassava tuber meal at 20 & 40 %, respectively. Similarly the T4 and T5 chicks were fed with ration replacing maize with peeled cassava meal at 20 & 40 %, respectively. The body weight of birds at six weeks of age was 1571.16±27.72, 1470.17±28.93, 1426.15±26.87, 1538.59±29.47 and 1563.20.34g in T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. No significant difference was observed in weight gain between the groups. Significantly (p≤0.01) higher metabolizability of protein and nitrogen balance was observed in T4 and T5 than other groups. Determination of Glucose, GOT & GPT values in the serum samples did not reveal any significant difference between the groups. Sensory evaluation of meat did not reveal any difference in texture, flavour, tenderness and overall acceptance of meat between the groups. Significantly (p≤0.05) higher percentage of breast meat was observed in control & T3 than other groups. Histopathological examination of liver and kidney showed mild hyperplacia of bile duct, congestion and focal infiltration of inflammatory cells in liver of T3.From this experiment it was concluded that cassava tuber meals could be incorporated in broiler ration by replacing maize upto 40%. |
