PY - 2024/09/10 Y2 - 2026/09/18 TI - INFLUENCE OF DIETARY INCLUSION OF CALOPOGONIUM MUCUNOIDES LEAF MEAL ON THE PERFORMANCE OF BROILER CHICKEN JF - Nigerian Journal of Animal Production JA - NJAP VL - IS - SE - Articles DO - 10.51791/njap.vi.7001 UR - https://www.njap.org.ng/index.php/njap/article/view/7001 SP - 1291 - 1293 AB - <p>A feeding trail was conducted to ascertain the dietary inclusion of Calopogonmum mucunoides leaf meal on the performance of broiler chicken. A total of 60 3 weeks old broiler birds were used. Four diets which contained 0.0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6% levels of the forage meal were formulated. The trial was in a completely randomized design of four treatments replicated into three with 5 birds per replicated. Weight and feed intake of the birds were taken weekly and daily respectively. These were used to calculate weight gain, daily weight gain, total feed intake, daily feed intake FCR, PER and daily protein intake. Results obtained show that significant difference (P &lt; 0.05) existed among final weight gain, total weight gain, daily weight gain, daily protein intake and protein efficiency ratio while such parameters like total feed intake, daily feed intake and feed conversion ration were not affected. It was concluded that the inclusion of C. mucunoides meal with 0.2% improved final weight, total weight gain, daily weight gain, daily protein intake and protein efficiency ratio in broiler chicken.</p> ER -
