“…The improved GIT health and integrity occasioned by the increase in production of SCFA may explain the increased blood total protein in the treated group compared to control. Similarly, high blood total protein has been reported in guinea fowls supplemented with mannan oligosaccharide (Oso et al, 2014) and a combination of probiotics and prebiotic (Habibu et al, 2016). In birds, high serum total protein is associated with high dietary protein utilization and improved nutritional status (Church et al, 1984;Luiet al, 2015).In agreement with the finding of the current study, Elgilani (2000), also reported that supplementation of molasses through feed has no effect on serum glucose concentration in chickens.…”

Abstract. The study was aimed at evaluating the performance indices and physiologic changes in pearl guinea fowls (Numida meleagris) supplemented with molasses through drinking water. A total of thirty-two (n=32) day-old pearl guinea fowls raised to 12-week-old were used for the study. The fowls were randomly allocated to two groups (control and experimental) of 16 fowls each, with each having two replicates. Experimental fowls were given 5 mL molasses per litre of drinking water for 8 weeks, while control fowls were given only drinking water. Performance indices which include: feed consumption, water intake and percentage weight gain were measured. Rectal temperature was measured and blood samples were collected to evaluate the changes in haematological parameters, serum triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) concentrations. Results revealed that the molasses-treated fowls had significantly (P<0.05) higher percentage weight gain, blood total protein, packed cell volume and mean corpuscular volume compared to control. However, the feed consumptionwas significantly lower (P<0.05) in the molasses-treated fowls compared to control. In both groups, rectal temperature increased significantly (P<0.05) during the afternoon hours and was lower (P<0.05) in molasses-treated fowls than control during the evening hours. There was no significant difference in other haematological parameters, serum glucose, T4 and T3 betweengroups. In conclusion, molasses supplementation decreased feed consumption, improved body weight gain and enhanced nutritional status and erythropoiesis in guinea fowls.

“…Abd-Allah and Abdel-Raheem, (2012) reported that carcass of quails fed 3 g MOS supplemented diet had lower offal's weight and the relative liver and gizzard weights tended to be higher than other groups. In addition, Younger and older guinea fowl fed diets supplemented with MOS had reduced (P<0.05) liver weight and increased (P<0.05) spleen weight (Osoa et al, 2014).…”

Eighteen Saidi rams were used in this trial to study the impact of additive mannan oligosaccharide (MOS;activeMOS ®)on some of carcass characteristics. MOS are commercially available as BioMos®, which is a nutritional supplement manufactured by MOS ® Matrix nutrition, LLC, USA was used in this experiment. Animals were randomly divided into three equal groups. The initial average live body weight values were 24.00,24.08 and 24.17 kg for groups 1,2, and 3 respectively. The first group did not receive MOS and served as a control group, while the second and third groups were supplemented with 2 and 4 g/ kg diet MOS and served as a MOS 1 and MOS 2 groups, respectively. Both experimental groups were fed roughage and concentrate diets ad libitum during this study. At the end of the experimental period, lasted for 6 months, final average body weight values were 44.17, 48.50 and 45.83, respectively. Five animals from experimental groups were slaughtered. The data revealed that supplementation of dietary MOS in the diet of siadi rams increased hot carcass weight, dressing percentage, right (P<0.05) and left side percentages. Moreover, most of edible and non edible parts tended to be heavier for MOS treated rams, while fat of heart, kidney and pelvic, gut, intestine and total fat tended to be lower for these groups than a control group. The proportion of muscle/ bone and muscle/fat ratios increased in treated groups. Left carcass side weight and carcass cuts were heavier in animals fed diet supplemented with MOS than controls. Meanwhile, a high priced cuts (leg, sirloin and best neck and fillet) were heavier by 29.05% and 12.7% of rams fed diet supplemented with MOS 1 and MOS 2 additives, respectively compared with the control. The highest part of high priced cuts was observed in fillet cut for MOS 1 and MOS 2 supplementation by about 57.14% (P<0.05) and 14.29%, respectively than control rams. Individual skeletal muscle of Semimemberanosus (SM), Supraspinatus (SP) and Longissimus dorsi (LD) were increased in the case of the dietary supplementation with MOS. Consequently, it appears from the present study that the dietary of MOS improve carcass characteristics and meat quality. Moreover, MOS inclusion at 0.2% was the most effective, suggesting that MOS might be a potential type of food additive useful for the growing sheep in Upper Egypt conditions.

“…Millet grain has, been successfully used as a substitute for corn in the diets of poultry (Goodarzi et al, 2011;Baurhoo et al, 2011;Oso et al, 2014;Batonon-Alavo et al, 2015;Cisse et al, 2016;Yilkal et al, 2018) and ducks (Adeola et al, 1996). The results showed that diets containing millet led to similar performance as the corn-based diet for all parameters.…”

The effect of feeding a diet containing 25% millet grain on performance and plasma metabolic profile was evaluated in weaned piglets during 21 days trial. A total of 40 pigs with an 8.14±1.08 kg average body weight (BW) was weaned at 28±3 days of age and divided into the control group (C) and the experimental group (M). The C group (n=20) received a conventional diet based on the corn-triticale-soybean meal while in the M group (n=20) received 25% millet grain cv. Marius replaced triticale (2 replicates per group). At the end of the post-weaning period, the performances (BW; average daily feed intake, ADFI; average daily gain, ADG; feed: gain ratio, F: G ratio) and plasma metabolic profile (lipid, protein, enzyme, mineral) were evaluated. A slow, but not significant increase was observed for the BW (+6%), ADG (+12%), ADFI (+5%) and F: G ratio (+7%) of pigs fed M diet. No effect (P>0.05) of dietary treatment on plasma metabolic profile was observed. However, the concentrations of triglyceride (-15%, P=0.089), total cholesterol (-14%, P=0.060) and aspartate aminotransferase enzyme activity (-16%, P=0.095) tended to decreased while inorganic phosphorus (+11%; P<0.04) had increased in the M vs. C diet. The present study indicated that the replacement of 25% millet grain to triticale in weaned piglet’s diet, maintains the performances and blood plasma parameters within the physiological ranges, beneficial to the health status.
