Description The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of dietary
supplementation of alternate protein sources such as cotton seed meal and guar meal at
varying levels along with quality protein maize (QPM) on performance, carcass
characteristics, antioxidant enzyme activity and nutrient utilization in broiler chicken from
0 to 6 weeks of age. For this purpose, 240 day-old commercial straight run broiler chicks
were procured and allotted randomly into six treatments. Each treatment have eight
replicates with five chicks per replicate and raised in electrically heated battery brooders
under uniform environment and standard management practices upto six weeks of age. The
experimental design consisted a total of six dietary groups, which were formulated with
uniform levels of energy and protein. Treatment groups were as follows T1 - control with
normal maize (NM), T2 - quality protein maize (QPM), T3 - NM plus 8% cotton seed meal
and 4% guar meal, T4
- NM plus 12% cotton seed meal and 6% guar meal, T5 - QPM plus
8% Cotton seed meal and 4% Guar meal, T6 - QPM plus 12% Cotton seed meal and 6%
Guar meal.
At the end of the experimental period (6 week), six birds from each of the dietary
group were sacrified to evaluate the effect of feeding QPM with different levels of alternate
protein sources on carcass parameters such as dressing yield, abdominal fat weight and
breast weight. Blood samples were collected on 36th day to estimate the serum antioxidant
enzyme activity. Metabolic trail was conducted during 43rd to 45th day of age by housing
one bird in a metabolic cage and maintained six replicates in each treatment. Excreta were
collected consequently for three days and were oven dried for the estimation of protein and
energy retention.
The results indicated that there was significant (P
