“…The BGD in native chicken in the study was agreed with the results of Das et al (2018). Growth is influenced by genotype of the birds reported by Ogunpaimo et al (2020) and Okyere et al (2020) mentioned that hormones, tissue specific regulatory factors and other aspects of the bird's environment are contributing factors for growth in chicken. In a stress-free environment, adequate feed supply with essential nutrients, growth will increase until a genetically determined upper limit is reached.…”

The study was conducted on growth and meat quality attributes of rice fed broiler and native chicken genotypes under intensive rearing. A total 360 DOC from two genotypes were reared in a common brooder house. The diet samples were divided into three treatment groups viz. T1 - corn (0% rice), T2 -50% corn replaced by rice and T3 -100% corn replaced by rice. Data were analyzed using 2×3 factorial design. Broiler showed significantly (p<0.01) higher growth performance as compared to native chicken. Cooking and drip loss were significantly (p<0.01) higher in broiler whearas WHC, ultimate pH and cooked pH were significantly (p<0.01) higher in native chicken breast meat. The diet had a significant (p<0.01) effect on water holding capacity (WHC) but the highest WHC% was found in T1 treatment. The CIE L*, a*, b*, was significantly (p<0.01) higher in broiler. The interaction between genotype and diet was found significantly (p<0.05) different in b* in breast and thigh meat; L*, b* in drumstick meat; a* in liver, respectively. The L* and b* were significantly (p<0.05) higher in broiler drumstick meat. The L* and a* values were significantly (p<0.05) higher in liver of broilers. Significantly (p<0.01) higher tenderness and juiciness were found in broiler breast meat than native chicken. This study provides an important insight on growth performance and meat quality of rice fed broiler and native chicken genotypes. Hence, rice could be used as alternative to corn in chicken ration.

“…One of the main problems that Guinea fowl production faces in developing countries is inadequate nutrition (Okyere et al, 2020) Amino acids are essential for the formation of proteins that participate in the physiological processes of poultry. However, not all the necessary amino acids are found in sufficient quantity, so they can be supplied in diets with the aim of improving the productive performance of animals (Ravindran, 2013).…”

Background. Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) is used as an alternative for the production of meat with high nutritional value; however, there are several factors that affect their productive performance. Objective. Review the main factors that affect the productive performance of the guinea fowl described in the worldwide literature. Methodology. A bibliographic review in the databases of Scopus, NCBI, Springer, Science direct, Google Scholar, Redalyc, and other repositories was carried out. The keywords for the search were: Guinea fowl, Numida meleagris, productive performance and body weight gain. Results. The production system is one of the main factors that affect the productive performance of the Guinea fowl. Birds raised in semi-intensive conditions have better weight gains compared to those that are kept under an extensive system. Mortality in the extensive system increases due to poor or no disease prevention practices and natural predators. The increase in population density under intensive management conditions negatively affects the performance and welfare of Guinea fowl. Ignorance of the energy and protein requirements causes a deficient productive performance in weight gains. Genetic factors also play a role; in Africa local varieties that have not been genetically improved are bred in extensive systems obtaining low yields, compared to developing countries. Birds hatch from large eggs with shorter storage periods had better growth performance. Implications. There is limited information on the main aspects related to the raising of the Guinea fowl, including the factors that affect its productive performance. Ignorance of the productive parameters favors the displacement of Guinea fowl production by other poultry species, such as chicken. Conclusions. Breeding the Guinea fowl as an alternative for meat and egg production must be accompanied by the disclosure of productive parameters to improve their production performance.

“…Guinea fowl possess a higher protein content, lower carcass fat, and more iron and vitamin E than domestic fowl [ 6 ]. There is a scarcity of data on indigenous guinea fowl production, which slows the industry’s growth despite increasing demand [ 5 , 7 ]. Understanding the degree of feed protein, these birds need is necessary to efficiently utilize local poultry resources to boost poultry output.…”

Objective: This work examined the results of different dietary protein levels on indigenous Nigerian guinea fowl growth performance and carcass yield. Materials and Methods: One hundred and eight unsexed indigenous keets were randomly assigned to three treatments with experimental diets containing 22%, 24%, and 26% crude protein (CP) in a completely randomized design, with 3 replicates with 12 keets in each replicate. The parameters were measured, including proximate composition, feed intake, growth rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and carcass yield. Results: The birds fed diets containing 24% CP gained the most body weight at 619.83 gm and had the highest FCR of 3.45. The presence of CP had an impact that was significant (p < 0.05) on most carcass traits and prime cuts but not on gastrointestinal tract weight, head weight, dress percentage, or organ yield. Conclusion: The study concluded that the dietary CP level of 24% was optimal for body weight gain and carcass yield.
