“…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%. However, it could completely replace corn grain in broiler diets as an energy feed ingredient.…”

“…Cassava leaves can be used as an energy crop ingredient. The energy content of cassava root chips and corn grains are very similar at 16,117 and 15,703 kJ/kg dry matter (or 3,852 and 3,753 kcal/kg dry matter), respectively (Tesfaye et al, 2013). 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).…”

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.

Cassava: Nutrient composition and nutritive value in poultry diets

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Insufficient supply, high prices and competition with the human food and biofuel industries means there is a continuous demand for alternative energy sources for poultry. As a result, cassava is becoming an increasingly important ingredient in poultry diets, largely due to its high availability. Efficient use of cassava products has been shown to reduce feed costs of poultry production. The utilisation of cassava is, however, limited by a number of factors, including its high fibre and low energy content and the presence of anti-nutritional factors, primarily hydrocyanic acid (HCN). With correct processing the inclusion level of cassava in poultry diets could be increased. Extensive research has been conducted on cassava products for poultry, but there is still a lack of consistency amongst the measured nutritive values for cassava and its products, hence variation exists in results from poultry studies. This paper reviews the nutrient composition of cassava products and its value as an alternative energy source in poultry diets.

“…The C. merkusii tubers were found higher 2635.58 Kcal/kg of ME content compared 2304.29 Kcal/kg of D. hispida roots in this trial that fall behind the values for differently processed (raw, soaked, cooked, and fermented) C. esculenta tubers (2943.70 -2966.82Kcal/kg) M.E. reported [17] , Manihot esculenta presented by various authors, with values ranging from 3,000 Kcal/kg to 3,200 kcal/kg [18] , 3,200 kcal/kg [19] , 3,145 kcal/kg [20] , 3,279 kcal/kg [21] , and 3852.00 Kcal/kg [22] . However, these values exceeded 2280.00 Kcal/kg [23] for Dioscorea rotundata peels.…”

In the pursuit of high-quality alternative sources of energy in poultry diets, the locally available root crops Cyrtosperma merkusii and Dioscoreae hispida were studied to ascertain their proximate nutritional and a few mineral values. The C. merkusii and D hispida tubers were collected from swamps and secondary forests of the municipalities of Mainit and Alegria, Surigao del Norte, Philippines. Tubers were processed and analyzed in triplicates by procedures of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC, 2002) in the determination of Moisture Content, CP, Crude Fiber, Crude Fat, Ash, NFE, calcium, and phosphorus. The result showed that C. merkusii was significantly (P < 0.05) highest 5.90% compared to D. hispida 4.38% CP. The calculated M.E. was 2,635.58 Kcal/kg C. merkusii and 2,304.29 Kcal/kg D. hispida and crude fiber was 7.15% for C. merkusii while 2.76% for D. hispida tuber. However, the crude fat and ash were significantly lesser in C. merkusii (0.06% & 4.82%) over D. hispida (0.24% & 9.57%) respectively. Moreover, other significant value results of C. merkusii versus D. hispida were; MC (13.91 vs. 19.61), NFE (66.12 vs. 63.44), calcium (0.50 vs. 0.30) while potassium was not significant (P > 0.05). The herein result implied that C. merkusii and D. hispida of Surigao del Norte was a good source of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash, nitrogen-free extract, metabolizable energy, calcium, and phosphorus an ideal alternative sources of energy for the formulation of good quality and well-balanced diets for poultry feeding.
