“…With the rise in the percentage of sunflower meal in the diet so did the inclusion of oil, effectively meeting the birds' energy necessities and enhancing the diet's digestibility [43]. Furthermore, the utilization of SFM resulted in an increase in apparent metabolizable energy, potentially contributing to the enhanced feed-to-gain ratio.In accordance with our findings, Muthui et al [44] also observed that the utilization of unconventional feed materials enhances the growth rate of pigs. Furthermore, El Dakroury [45] discovered that Moringa Oleifera Leaves Powder can serve as a natural, efficient, and secure substitute for growth-promoting antibiotics in broiler chickens.…”

HIS study aimed to assess the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) in the diet of growing Japanese quails with sunflower meal (SFM) and roselle seed meal (RSM) at levels (5 and 10%). The analysis covered performance, carcass trait, some blood serum metabolites, gene expression, and economic efficiency measures. When comparing the quails in the experimental groups to those in the control group, there was no discernible difference in terms of their ultimate body weight or feed conversion ratio. However, body weight gain of growing quails fed 10% SFM or RSM showed higher body weight gain than other treatment group. The non-significant differences indicate that these alternative protein sources were at least as effective as soybean meal in supporting quail performance in the studied conditions. Blood serum parameters revealed that no statistically significant differences in total protein levels, HDL, and lipid peroxidation among the control group and the experimental groups. Nevertheless, it is significant that the cholesterol levels in all experimental groups were greater than those in the control group. The expression profiles of GH, IGF-I, PGAM2, IFN-α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL8, SOD, and GPX were considerably upregulated in the 10% SFM or RSM groups compared to other groups. MSTN, however, produced the opposite tendency. Significant economic efficiency measures were observed with the best results showing with a group feeding diet incorporating 10% SFM followed by 10% RSM incorporation. In conclusion, the utilization of SFM and RSM, especially at the 10% inclusion level instead of SBM, led to enhanced growth performance, improved expression of growth-related, immune, and antioxidant markers and improved economic efficiency in Japanese quails.

“…Nearly 80% of the total investment in piggery is for feeding only (Anonymous, 2012 andLiao andNyachoti, 2017). Unavailability as well as involvement of very high prices for the conventional feed ingredients compel the pig farmers of Mizoram to use the locally available grains with many unconventional feeds for day-to-day feeding of pigs to reduce the feeding cost and to have remunerative profit (Buragohain, 2012) and thereby to improve the sustainability of the enterprise (Muthui et al, 2018). Unconventional feed resources contribute majority of the feedstuffs offered to pigs and feeding of homemade cooked feed including kitchen waste and locally available plants is the common feeding practice (Kumaresan et al, 2009 andMoanaro et al, 2011) in Mizoram.…”

The study was conducted in the Department of Animal Nutrition, College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, Central Agricultural University (Imphal), Aizawl, Mizoram during 2018-19. The objective of the research was to assess the nutritional constraints of feeding pigs in Mizoram and to put forward some solutions by identifying and utilizing local feed resources for economic feeding. Numbers of unconventional feeds were used for feeding pigs in Mizoram and fourteen among them were identified to be commonly used in day-to-day preparation of home-made cooked feed, which was the composite feed given to all categories of pigs. Constraints of the existing feeding practice were identified as high cost of conventional feeds, low dry matter intake causing deficient energy consumption, poor digestibility of nutrients when home-made cooked feed was fed, high tannin content of unconventional feeds. Except crude protein, apparent digestibility of dry matter, ether extract, crude fibre, nitrogen free extract and organic matter were low under the existing feeding practice. Based on nutrient contents, unconventional local feeds were categorized as protein and energy rich for substitution of conventional ingredients in ration formulation. Few rations with unconventional feeds substituting conventional ones suggested for grower and finisher pigs. Complete feed block of conventional and unconventional feeds was found acceptable to pigs. The study indicated the possibility of economic feeding of pigs by utilizing the local feeds keeping in view their nutritive and anti-nutritive contents and taking into consideration the constraints associated with nutrient intakes under the existing feeding management.
