“…Results from this study showed that a significant quadratic trend was observed for NDFD in response to increasing dietary levels of SWM, which indicates that the presence of polysaccharides (fucoidan, laminarin, alginate, and cellulose) in the seaweed [ 18 , 19 ] may reduce its utilisation at higher inclusion rates. Indeed, non-starch polysaccharides such as cellulose, pectins, arabinoxylans, and β -glucans are known to suppress nutrient digestibility in poultry [ 20 ].…”

Seaweeds possess a wide range of bioactive compounds that can be beneficial in sustainable intensification systems. This study explored the effect of green seaweed (Ulva spp.) meal (SWM) on apparent nutrient digestibility and physiological responses of Boschveld indigenous chickens. Two-hundred and seventy-five hens (202.4 ± 6.65 g live-weight; 4-weeks-old) were reared on five isoenergetic and isoproteic diets formulated by adding SWM at 0 (SW0), 20 (SW20), 25 (SW25), 30 (SW30), and 35 g/kg (SW35). Neutral detergent fibre digestibility quadratically responded (R2 = 0.244; p = 0.042) to SWM levels. No significant dietary influences were observed on apparent nutrient digestibility values. Repeated measures analysis showed significant diet × week interaction effect on weekly feed intake and growth performance. Dietary inclusion of SWM increased (p < 0.05) feed intake and overall body weight gain but not feed conversion efficiency. No significant linear and quadratic trends were observed for blood parameters except for basophils (R2 = 0.172; p = 0.047), which linearly declined with SWM levels. Dietary SWM inclusion only influenced (p < 0.05) mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular concentration, and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration. We concluded that seaweeds have the potential to be used as a feed ingredient for indigenous chickens.

“…Similarly, replacing SBM with GM in broiler diets at levels of 3-18% at different growth stages, showed an improvement in growth performances and carcass parameters at lower levels of 3-9 % (Gheisari et al, 2011). Another study revealed optimum inclusion level at 50 g/ kg of sprouted guar than roasted guar bean meal suggested beneficial for growth in broiler diets (Madzimure et al, 2017). A study of Janampet et al (2016) confirmed that the inclusion of 50% guar meal instead of groundnut cake enhanced the growth rate and digestion coefficient of nutrients without any adverse effects on performance.…”

| Guar is a very important legume crop in arid areas of Indian sub-continent. Over the world, India is known as the biggest producer of guar bean by contributing around 90% of the total production. Guar meal is defined as a guar gum by-product which has about 450 gram protein per kilogram. In spite having high protein content, guar meal is not known on a commercial scale but it has received substantial attention for animal feedstuffs. Trypsin inhibitors are the main anti-nutritive factor present in guar; however, these can be ameliorated with the uses of enzymes and heat treatment. Fluctuations in market prices of essential feed ingredients motivated poultry nutritionist to look for alternative valuable replacements for certain feeds. Based on the promising findings of guar meal inclusion in diets, it might be an acceptable feed ingredient in poultry feed. Guar meal can be fed up to 100 g/kg diet without adverse effects on poultry performance. Higher level of guar meal at150 g/kg can be detrimental for broiler and layer birds. Because of increasing the availability of guar beans, opportunities have been expanded for using guar meal as a partial alternative for soybean meal (SBM).The inclusion of guar meal in poultry diets canbe maximized by the addition of some feed additives such as β-mannanases. The present review article presents thatnutritional values of protein and amino acids of guar meal is similar to the SBM and seems to be an attractive feed ingredient in the poultry industry.

“…As chickens decrease feed intake, their nutrient intake also decreases resulting in lighter weight. Anti-nutritional factors found in T. esculentum are known to suppress nutrient digestibility in chickens (Madzimure et al, 2017). In addition, Jackson et al (2010) reported T. esculentum (Burchell) to be a potential source of phytonutrients including phenolic compounds such as tannin, trypsin inhibitor, phytate and oligosaccharides.…”

A 90 days study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding Tswana hens reared under intensive system and fed diets formulated from Imbrasia belina (Westwood), Vigna subterranea (L) Verde and Tylosema esculentum (Burchell) Schreiber as sources of protein on egg quality. Four isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were formulated by totally replacing soybean meal (SBM) with I. belina, V. subterranea and T. esculentum as protein sources while commercial layer diet was used as control diet. Twelve eggs from each pen were collected at 28, 33 and 38 weeks of age for egg quality analysis in a completely randomized design. Egg weight (EW), shell weight (SW), shell thickness (ST), shell index (SI), shell percentage (SP), egg surface area (ESA), egg volume (EV), egg contents (EC) and Haugh units (HU) were measured. Repeated measure analysis showed significant (P<0.05) week × diets interaction effect on EW and SW. At week 28, hens on T. esculentum diet had the highest (P < 0.05) EW while those on control diet attained the highest (P < 0.05) EW at week 33. Hens fed I. belina diets had the highest (P < 0.05) SW at week 28. However, at weeks 33 and 38, hens on I. belina diets had the smallest (P < 0.05) SW. Hens fed V. subterranea and T. esculentum diets had significantly lower overall SI compared to those on control and I. belina diets. Tylosema esculentum diets did not promote (P<0.05) ESA, EV and EC. However, no influence (P>0.05) of dietary treatments was observed on overall ST, SP and HU. The inclusion of I. belina and V. subterranea on layer diet had no adverse effects on egg quality while the totally replacement of SBM with T. esculentum as protein source impaired egg quality. These results, suggest that I. belina and V. subterranea could completely replace SBM as protein source in the layer diets without any detrimental effects on egg quality.
