“…However, important growth performance indices, Specific growth rate (SGR), weight gain (G) and condition factor (FC) did not show any significant variation among experimental treatments and the control diets. This could be due to the increase protein digestibility of the experimental diets as previously reported by Oke et al (2017). Condition factor is information relating to the physiological status of the fish relating to its welfare and health, fatness or wellbeing of fish (Nath et al, 2006).…”

The present study investigated the nutritional suitability and cost effectiveness of a Sahelian plant seeds, Aizien (Boscia senegalensis) as alternative to Soy bean meal in the diet of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus Burchell, 1822). Raw seeds of the B. senegalensis were subjected to processing method intended to reduce levels of the most important antinutritional factors (ANFs). The resultant product was used to formulate five isonitrogenous (40%) diets, containing the seed meals at inclusion levels of 25% to 100% of dietary protein and fed to Fingerlings of the African Catfish at 5% of their body weight for a period of 24 weeks. The feeding trial involved one hundred and fifty (150) fingerlings of C. gariepinus(2.43g –3.10g) randomly stocked at ten fish per Tank (200L) in a non-flow through design with regular water replacement and water quality monitoring. Important growth performance and nutrient utilization indices, weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), and Feed conversion efficiency (FCE) of fish in the experimental groups fed SBS based showed that Fish fed 50% SBS diet recorded the highest WG (439.14g), SGR (1.34%/day) and FCR (1.35). This could be attributed to the protein quality of the diets in relation to the dietary essential amino acid profile of the experimental diets used. Generally, the Fish fed the 100%SBS diet recorded the lowest growthperformance with regards to WG (360.68g), SGR(1.25), FCR (1.61), PER (1.58) and FCE (62.22%).From the results of this experiment, for better production of African catfish C. gariepinus, replacement levels of 50 SBS may serve as good alternative to SBM in feed formulation for C. gariepinus.

“…The determination of nutrient digestibility and metabolizable energy were conducted at day 56 of the experiment as described previously (Oke et al, 2017). One turkey per replicate was randomly selected and housed separately in an appropriate metabolic cage fitted with an individual feed trough and a facility for separate excreta collection.…”

Effect of Dietary Niacin Supplementation on Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, Hematology, and Lipoprotein Concentrations of Young Turkeys, <i>Meleagris gallopavo</i>

The growth performance, nutrient digestibility, hematology, serum chemistry, and lipoprotein concentrations of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) poults fed diets supplemented with high or recommended concentrations of niacin were investigated in this study. A total of 120 four-week-old turkey poults were randomly divided into three treatment groups with five replicates of eight birds in each group. The poult diets were supplemented with 0.0, 60, and 180 mg/kg niacin in the three treatments, termed control, recommended niacin supplementation (RNS), and high niacin supplementation (HNS), respectively. The study lasted for four weeks. The results showed that the HNS treatment reduced the feed intake and increased the body weight gain of poults. The apparent, nitrogen-corrected, and true metabolizable energy contents were the highest in the HNS-group turkey poults (P＜0.05). The red and white blood cell counts and hemoglobin concentration of the turkeys improved with increasing niacin supplementation (P＜0.01). The serum constituents, including the serum protein and globulin, were significantly increased (P＜0.05), while the uric acid and creatinine contents were significantly reduced in the HNS-group turkeys. Similarly, the HNS-group turkeys exhibited significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) contents, while the RNS-group turkeys had the least aspartate aminotransferase (AST) content. In addition, the HNS-group turkeys had the least serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride, and total cholesterol concentrations and the highest serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (P＜0.01) concentrations. In conclusion, the supplementation of 180 mg/kg niacin in the diet reduced the feed intake and serum ALT, ALP, LDL, triglyceride, and cholesterol contents and increased the body weight gain, metabolizable energy, and HDL concentration in turkeys. This study showed that niacin supplementation could reduce the fat content without compromising the body weight gain and increase stress resistance in turkey poults.

Effect of dietary niacin supplementation on performance, total tract nutrient retention, carcass yield and meat lipid profile of growing turkeys

et al. 2019

A study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary high or recommended nicotinic acid (niacin) supplementation on growth performance, total tract nutrient digestibility, hematology, serum chemistry, and lipoprotein concentrations in the serum and meat of growing turkeys. Turkeys were assigned to three treatments on weight equalisation basis with five replicates of eight turkeys in each group. Experimental diets were: no supplemental niacin (Control), a diet supplemented with 60 mg/kg niacin termed as recommended niacin supplementation and a diet supplemented with 180 mg/kg niacin termed as high niacin supplementation (HNS). The experiment lasted for the grower (Day 56–84) and finisher phases (Day 84–112) of the birds. Dietary inclusion of HNS increased (P < 0.01) bodyweight gain, metabolisable energy (Days 84 and 112), dressing percentage and retail cut parts of turkeys (Day 112) in relation to the Control-fed turkeys. Furthermore, least white blood cell count and higher concentrations of packed cell volume, red blood cells and hemoglobin (P < 0.01) were found in turkeys fed HNS on Days 84 and 112. Similarly, turkeys in the HNS group had improved serum constituents including serum protein, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphate. The blood and meat lipid profile analysis showed that low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol were least (P < 0.05) in turkeys fed HNS. Collectively, dietary high supplementation of niacin (180 mg/kg) improves production performances, reduces serum and meat fat content and improve indicators of stress resistance ability in growing turkeys.
