Two experiments were conducted to evaluate nutritional value of putak for broilers. Experiment 1. The apparent metabolisable energy of raw and fermented putak were determined. The experimental design used was completely randomized design with three treatments and four replicates. Total of 64 broilers were randomly distributed to 16 pens. A maize-soybean meal basal diet was formulated and three assay diets were then developed by substituting putak (raw, and fermented, 250 g kg-1, w/w), and maize (500 g kg-1, w/w) of the basal diet. Even though the AME and AMEn values of fermented putak were comparable to that of raw putak and maize, but it was slightly higher than that of raw putak. Experiment 2. Using the AME value of raw putak obtained in Experiment 1, five treatment diets containing 0 to 200 g kg-1 putak were formulated. The body weight gain of broilers fed 150 - 200 g kg-1-1 putak was higher to that of control diet, but it was similar to those fed 50-100 g kg-1 putak. No differences were found in FCR and mortality rate. Feed intake of broilers fed diets containing putak was higher than that of control diet. In conclusion, the AME and AMEn values of putak, fermented putak, and maize were comparable. Putak can be included in broiler diets up to 200 g kg-1 without detrimental effects.

In view of rising cost of conventional broiler chicken feeds in Nigeria, the value of fermented spent sorghum grains (FSSG) as alternative feed for broiler chickens was evaluated. Sterilized, spent sorghum grains were fermented for 21 days at 25 ± 2 o C using a consortium of Aspergillus niger, Chaetomium globosum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Five test diets were formulated by supplementing commercial chicken broiler feed (CBD) with the FSSG at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 100% levels. Proximate contents of the diets were determined. A 28-day Feeding experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in which 40 day-old broiler chicks were assigned to the five dietary treatments. Eight birds were allocated to each treatment with two replicates of 4 birds each. Parameters monitored included feed intake, weight gain, feed efficiency ratio (FER) and protein efficiency ratio (PER). Higher amounts of FSSG in the diets resulted in significantly higher (P<.05) crude protein and crude fibre contents and lower NFE content and feed intake. The highest average weight gain of 21.61g/bird/day was recorded for the 5% FSSG diet. This diet also brought about the highest FER of 0.58. The PER (2.51) of the 5% FSSG diet was insignificantly lower (P >.05) than the value (2.60) recorded for CBD. The findings showed that fermented spent sorghum grains, when used solely, cannot serve as alternative feed for broiler chickens. However, conventional chicken feed could be supplemented with fermented spent sorghum grains at 5% level without negative effects on broiler performance.

Feed digestibility indicates how much the body uses feed and its nutrients. This study aimed at making a literature review on the digestibility of balanced feed given to broiler chicken in Africa. Data used for this literature review were collected through many scientific papers published from 2008 to 2018 and uploaded to Google Scholar, Pubmed, Agora search engines and in national university libraries. Numerous scientific studies in this field indicate that more than forty feedstuffs are commonly used to formulate balanced feed delivered to broiler chicken in modern system in Africa. Feed digestibility is generally assessed in vivo by the direct method in broiler chicken. The data compiled shows that feed digestibility of broiler chicken varies enormously depending on the feedstuffs in balanced feed and also on their incorporation rate. This literature review reveals that balanced feeds used to feed broiler has Apparent Digestibility more than 50%.
