“…This is opposed to Salami and Odunsi (2003), Anaeto and Adighibe (2011) and Kana et al (2013) who reported a decrease feed intake with increased level of inclusion of similar test diet. However, it should be mentioned that an important aspect suggested to have favoured increase feed intake was the fact that the feed was pelleted, meanwhile with studies by Salami and Odunsi (2003), Anaeto and Adighibe (2011) and Kana et al (2013), mash feed was used. Indeed, Munt et al (1995) and Preston et al (2000) mentioned the advantages of pelleted feed on feed intake and growth performances in chicken.…”

INtroductIoN Maize occupies the highest percentage of most compounded rations for monogastric animals, taking about 40-60% their diet (Onimisi and Dafwang, 2010).The increasing pressure on the use of maize by human population and livestock feed millers coupled with the cost of maize which fluctuates with the seasons of the year, thus making the cereal grain to be either scarce or expensive, stimulate the use of alternative sources of energy that are research Article Abstract | The increasing pressure on maize for human and livestock nutrition, coupled with the cost of maize which keeps increasing, stimulate the use of alternative and locally available sources of energy. This study aimed at contributing to chicken productivity by evaluating effect of pelleted diets with graded inclusion levels of cassava-sweet potato meal (CASPM) as energy substitute for maize on the digestibility, carcass and haematological parameters of Cameroon Kabir chickens. A completely randomised design was used to allocate a total of 315 Kabir chickens (270 hens and 45 rosters) of 23 weeks of age to five dietary formulations T1 (0% replacement of maize with CASPM considered as control diet), T2 (25%), T3 (50%), T4 (75%) and T5 (100%). Animals within the treatments were balanced for weight in each sex, each treatment having 63 Kabir chickens in three replicates of 18 hens and 3 roosters each. The apparent digestibility of metabolizable energy was found to be positive. Lipids apparent digestibility value was negative for diet but positive for other treatments. Crude protein, Ash and crude fibre were all negative irrespective of treatments. The rosters had higher carcass weight than the hens (P<0.05), which in turn had a higher liver to carcass ratio as well as abdominal fats compared to the rosters. No significant difference was observed among other organs. The lowest RBC count was registered for T5 whereas unusual high RBC count was observed for hens from T4. T5 (100% substitution) and T3 (50% substitution) had the highest digestibility mean while T3 (50% substitution) had the lowest FCR. T1 and T3 were found to have the best optimum range blood characteristics. Overall, T3 was the best of the five treatments as neither mortality nor adverse effects on chickens was recorded. Besides, no abnormalities were found upon carcass analysis. It is therefore recommended that 50% substitution of cassava-sweet potato meal as energy substitute for maize shall be used for the improvement and productivity of Kabir chicken production. Keywords

“…Some studies found that up to 40% of corn could be replaced with cassava meal to improve laying performance and egg quality (Kyawt et al, 2014). Up to 50% replacement of corn by cassava roots did not significantly affect the hen-day egg production (Anaeto and Adighibe, 2011). This correlated with the research of Tesfaye et al (2013), which found that cassava roots should not be substituted for corn grain by more than 50%.…”

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become more widely and internationally accepted around the world, including in Thailand. The objective of this study is to calculate and identify the amount of greenhouse gas emission in order to provide an environmental pro le for the broiler industry. In this study, LCA methodology was applied to chicken feed production for 12 di erent formulas from 3 participating factories in Thailand. The results of the study reveal that producing one kilogram of chicken feed requires 0.12-0.36 MJ of energy consumption, both in electricity and fuel. In terms of greenhouse gases, the results show the emission of 374-473 gCO 2 eq for broiler feed and 408-454 gCO 2 eq for parent feed. Energyrich and protein-rich ingredients are the main contributors to the greenhouse gas e ect, accounting for 87-96%. Those used in a factory, such as electricity, water and fuel, are less signi cantly impactful, or 3-11% of total greenhouse gases on average for all formulas. Grain transportation is also not a prominent contributor to the impact, accounting for less than 3% of total greenhouse gases. This is because the grains are produced domestically in Thailand. Feasible options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions include the replacement of soybeans-a conventional, protein-rich ingredient and the replacement of corn-a typically energy-rich ingredient. The results show that GHGs reduces by 1.67-6.96% when 20% of the soybeans are replaced by cassava leaves and by 12.80-22.77% when replacing 50% of the corn with cassava roots.

“…Kyawt et al discovered that up to 40% corn could be substituted by cassava meal to improve laying performance and egg quality [35]. Replacing corn by up to 50% cassava root did not significantly affect the hen-day egg production [36]. Accordingly, the fourth scenario replaced corn with up to 40% cassava root.…”
