Cumin seed meal with enzyme and polyethylene glycol as an alternative to wheat bran in broiler diets

Abstract

Iran produces about 7000 metric tons of cumin seed meal (CSM) as a by-product of cumin oil extraction factories, annually. To evaluate the nutritional significance of cumin seed meal as a broiler feedstuff, an experiment was conducted using 288 male broiler chicks (14 days old) receiving diets containing 0, 25 and 50 g kg −1 of CSM with and without polyethylene glycol (PEG) and enzyme (Grindazyme  GP 15000) for 28 days. Total body weight (BW), body weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), weight of carcass and percentage of legs, breast and edible parts of carcass were measured. The results showed that, inclusion of CSM in broiler diets had no negative influence on parameters evaluated compared to the control diet containing wheat bran (P > 0.05). PEG and enzyme had no influence on the bird performance (P > 0.05). There was an increase in relative weight of gizzard when the amount of CSM in the diet was increased (P < 0.01). An increase in relative weight of gizzard in birds that received the CSM diet was likely to be due to the increase in fibre content of CSM diets. In respect of the low price of CSM, it could be concluded that inclusion of CSM at levels used in this experiment has no negative effect on broiler performance and reduces the overall cost of broiler production.

The influence of different single dietary sources on moult induction in laying hens

“…This was particularly notable in birds provided with DTP, which had the maximum feed intake (29.9 g day −1 ), compared with hens fed AM (12.4 g day −1 ) or RB (16.7 g day −1 ). Birds provided with CSM did not consume this by‐product of cumin seed oil factories, presumably because of its poor palatability and astringent taste due to the presence of tannins, as the total measurable phenolic compound and total tannin contents of CSM were 18.2 g kg −1 and 3.7 g tannic acid equivalents kg −1 respectively 29, 30. Thus this group had a loss of body weight similar to that of FW birds.…”

“…This by‐product of tomato canneries, comparable to alfalfa meal in protein and dietary fibre and rich in vitamins and minerals, has been successfully used in broiler and laying hen diets 22–28. Cumin seed meal, high in dietary fibre, has also been successfully used as an alternative to wheat bran at up to 50 g kg −1 in broiler and layer rations 29, 30…”

Dietary Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) Seed Powder Supplementation Had No Adverse Effects on Growth Performance and Carcass Traits of Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica

“…Supporting our study, Shaban (2012) and Dawood and Al-Douri (2014) reported that the performance parameters of the animals improved compared to the control group in their studies using 1 and 1.5 g/kg CSP. As can be seen in Table 4, cumin added to poultry feed in high amounts improved performance parameters (Mansoori et al, 2006;Jang, 2011;Elagib et al, 2013;Al-Anbari et al, 2013;Rafeeq et al 2016a;Florana et al, 2017;Ali et al, 2018). There was no statistical effect of CSP in different doses added to quail diets in order to improve growth stimulants, health protection, and some carcass characteristics in our study.…”

“…In addition, cumin affects systems such as aldose reductase (Lee, 2005), analgesic (Bhat et al, 2014), antiamyloidogenic (Morshedi et al, 2014), anticancer (Sowbhagya, 2013;Anu et al, 2016), antidiabetic (Sowbhagya, 2013), anti-inflammatory (Srinivasan, 2018), antimicrobial (Bokaeian et al, 2014;Belal et al, 2017;Al-Harbi, 2019), anti-osteoporotic (Samani and Farrokhi, 2014), antioxidant (Bettaieb et al, 2011, Koppula andChoi, 2011), antiplatelet aggregation (Sowbhagya, 2013), bronchodilator (Boskabady et al, 2005), contraceptive (Gupta et al, 2011), gastroprotective (Sowbhagya, 2013), hypotensive (Moradi et al, 2016), immunological (Chauhan et al, 2010), insecticidal (Negahban et al, 2012), alphaglucosidase and tyrosinase inhibitory effects (Lee, 2005), protective and central nervous system (Al-Snafi, 2016). With all these features, cumin seed powder (CSP), its essential oil (CEO) and meal (CSM) were used to improve meat, egg or breeding performances during the feeding of poultry (Mansoori et al, 2006;Aami-Azghadi et al, 2010;Ali et al, 2011;2012;Al-Anbari et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2018;Alkattan, 2019). Although cumin has an important place in human nutrition, cumin is generally among the spices studied by researchers in order to increase the performance of animals.…”

Effect of Adding Cumin (Cuminum Cyminum) and Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum) Seed in the Raw Kernel Palm Meal Diets on Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) Growth Performance

“…Herbs and aromatic plants are an important part of the medicinal uses of developing countries (Greathead, 2003) and are a safe source of human, animal and environmental health, and among the medicinal plants known as Cumin and are characterized by its seeds or oil by containing active compounds such as Alkaloids, Tannins, Glycosides, ayonoidsFl, Saponines, Cuminalihyde, Careol, Linalool and Geraniol which act as antioxidants and harmful microorganisms which lead to microbial balance events inside the gut and increase the secretion of digestive enzymes such as Amylase, Trypsin, Chemotrypsin, Lipase which in turn gives a better chance of digesting and absorbing nutrients which led to increased Live body weight, weight gain, and food conversion factor (Mansoori et al, 2006;Muthamma et al, 2008). Also from medicinal plants known as fenugreek and for the beneficial effects of fenugreek seeds, studies have been conducted to assess their effect as feed additives on growth, survival, and hematological responses in fingerlings of common carp fish, Cyprinus carpio, due to their main pharmacological properties against diabetes and cholesterol activity in the blood, anti-microbial effects, anti-oxidant effects, anti-effects Allergies are also anti-inflammatory and antipyretic (Devi et al, 2003;iKumar et al, 2005;Bhatti et al, 1996;Khalil & Mansour, 2000;Thiel, 1997;Liu et al, 2012;Ahmadiani et al, 2001).…”
