“…This could be attributed to the absence of anti-nutritional factors in boiled Cassia tora seed meal. It also agreed with the report of Yakubu et al, (2017) who observed no significant difference in carcass characteristics when they fed Cassia obtusifolia leaf meal to broiler chickens.…”

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of 30 minutes boiled Cassia tora seed meal in starter broiler chicken diets on carcass and internal organs characteristics, using one hundred and twenty day-old Hubbard broiler chicks. Five starter broiler chicken diets were formulated such that 30 minutes of boiled Cassia tora seed meal were included at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% designated as treatments T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. The chicks were randomly divided into five groups of twenty-four (24) chicks each and allocated to the five dietary treatments replicated three times with 8 birds per replicate in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The parameters measured were live weight; dressed weight, carcass weight and internal organs weights. Feed and water were given ad libitum throughout the 28 days of the research period. The results showed that all the carcass characteristics parameters measured were not significantly different (P>0.05) across treatment means except for wings which had values ranging from 10.32kg for T 1 to 8.93kg for T2. Live weights were 1165.00kg, 1298.67kg, 1206.60kg, 1158.67kg and 1006.33 kg for birds fed diets T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. The dressed weights were 1084.67kg, 1194.67kg, 1108.00kg, 1078.00g and 936.00kg for birds fed T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 diets. The values obtained from the dressing percentage were 93.13%, 91.90%, 91.70%, 93.06% and 92.96% for birds fed T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. The result of breast weight numerically showed that birds fed T5 diet had the least value of 21.35kg while birds fed T2 had the highest value 24.57kg.Thigh weight showed that birds fed T5 diet recorded 11.05kgas the lowest value and T2which was 12.24kg as the highest value. Drumstick evaluation showed birds fed T5 as the poorest performed and T4 as the best performed and the back cut values showed T1 as the poorest performed with a weight of 14.12kg and T4 as the best performed with the weight of 15.55kg. Small intestine, large intestine, proventriculus and pancreas had significant differences (P<0.05) among the treatments while supplementing 30 minutes of boiled CTSM in broiler feed at 5% to 20 % inclusion levels had no significant difference (P>0.05):on the heart, liver, kidney, lungs, spleen, empty gizzard and gall bladder across the respective treatments. It was concluded from the results obtained that 30 minutes of boiled Cassia tora seed meal (BCTSM) could be included up to 20% in broiler starter chicken diets without any adverse effects on the carcass and internal organs characteristics.

“…Senna obtusifolia leaves, which would have been a suitable alternative feed material, was observed to be avoided by most species of livestock, which is an indication that they contain toxic factors. The chemical composition of the leaves as reported by Ayssiwede et al (2012) revealed that it has good nutritional value (27.40 CP and 2050.47 kcal/kg metabolizable energy), but Yakubu et al (2017) reported that S. obtusifolia leaves contain antinutritional factors, such as tannins, hence the need to process the leaves before incorporation into livestock diets. In view of the above, it has become necessary to evaluate the best processing method(s) that will detoxify the leaves and enhance optimal utilization of the leaves as feedstuff.…”

A feeding trial was conducted for 28 d to evaluate the effects of feeding albino rats with processed Senna obtusifolia leaf meal (SOLM) based diets. Five experimental diets were compounded to contain 0% and 20% each of the sun-dried, boiled, fresh fermented, boiled fermented SOLM-based diets designated as T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5, respectively. A total of 90 young albino rats with initial weight of 13.52–14.48 g were randomly allocated to the dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with three replicates of six rats each. The result of the productive performance was not significantly (P > 0.05) different, except feed intake, which indicated significant (P < 0.05) variation. The highest total feed intake (365.40 g) was recorded in albino rats fed the control diet (0% SOLM) and 20% boiled and fermented SOLM (334.32 g). The overall weight gain among the albino rats fed the processed SOLM-based diets were not significantly (P > 0.05) different. Results on cost benefits revealed a reduction in feed cost per kilogram, cost of feed intake, and feed cost per kilogram body weight gain recorded in SOLM-based diets (T2–T5). Feed cost per kilogram was observed to reduce by 21.86, 20.79, 21.80, and 18.79 in T2–T5, respectively. It was concluded that the processed SOLM-based diets had enhanced the productive performance of albino rats. However, albino rats fed the boiled and fermented SOLM-based diet indicated better feed intake compared with the other groups of rats fed the other processed SOLM-based diets. On economic grounds, the use of processed SOLM as a feed ingredient for albino rats is cost effective because of the reduction in feed cost per kilogram of the SOLM-based diets and feed cost per kilogram body weight gain observed in albino rats fed SOLM-based diets and is, therefore, recommended for feeding albino rats.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of supplementing different levels of Spondiasmombin leaf meal on the performance and blood profile of broiler chickens. Experimental parameters covered growth performance and some heamatological and blood serum analysis. One hundred and sixty, day old Arbo acre broiler chicks were randomly divided into four treatments groups with four (4) replicates, each of ten birds in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Group 1 was fed basal diet without Spondiasmombin leaf meal (SSM), Group 2, 3 and 4 were fed basal diets supplemented with SSM at levels of 1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0% respectively. The basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of broilers according to NRC (1994), the experiment lasted for 49 days and the results obtained showed that there were significant ( P<0.05) differences among all treatments in the values of final live weight and feed conversion ratio. No significant difference (P>0.05) was observed for the daily feed intake of the birds. Results for heamatology showed that white blood cell counts, RBC, Hb and PCV were significantly (P<0.05) affected with the inclusion of Spondiasmombin leaf meal, SGPT, SGOT and other serum parameterswere not significantly different (P>0.05) during the experiment. No mortality was recorded throughout the experimental period. Results obtained from this study showed that Spondiasmombin leaf meal is a good source of plant vitamins and minerals and its inclusion at 3.0% level does not have any deleterious effect on the general performance and health status of broiler chicken.
