Effect of reconstitution of sorghum with or without enzymes on production performance and immunocompetence in broiler chicken

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The presence of tannins and phytic acid in sorghum causes anti-nutritional effects that include reduced growth rate, feed intake, feed efficiency and nutrient digestibility in broiler chicken. Therefore, in the present investigation efforts were made to reveal the effect of reconstitution of sorghum with or without enzymes on production performance and immunocompetence in broiler chicken.

Effect of Germinated Maize Based Diets on Biochemical Parameters in Kadaknath

“…The observations for total proteins, total cholesterol and glucose in the present study were in accordance with the findings of El-Deek et al, (2009), Osman (2009), Lee et al, (2010), Gautam et al, (2017) and Khan et al, (2017). On the contrary, Jain (2008), Manwar and mandal (2009) and Prajapati (2010) found no significant effect on the above parameters in treated groups as compare to control.…”

Growth performance, nutrients digestibility, intestinal microbiota and histology altered in broilers fed maize- or sorghum-based diets

“…It ranks as the third most extensively cultivated cereal in Asia, following rice and maize. While its nutritional content falls slightly behind maize, it proves to be more cost-effective and accessible, particularly in semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa (Manwar and Mandal 2009 ). The diminished nutritional value of sorghum grain may be attributed to the presence of an insoluble protein fraction.…”
