Impact of palm kernel cake with or without multi-blend enzyme on the growth performance and carcass traits of Sasso broilers

Abstract: Non-conventional feeds help alleviate competition faced by the poultry industry as the prices of conventional poultry feed ingredients, are continually increasing. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of palm kernel cake (PKC) on the performance of Sasso X44 broiler chicks. Four hundred and fifty (450) unsexed 21-day-old broiler chicks of homogenous weight were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with six replicates having 15 birds per replica… Show more

“…The results showed no significant differences in these enzyme activities between birds fed the control diet and those fed the experimental diets, except for birds fed elephant grass and urea, whose ALT levels increased considerably (but not significantly) compared to the control. According to Koranteng et al (2022), there was no difference in these enzyme activities when birds were fed fermented maize cob compared to the control. The ALT/AST activities observed in this study were within the normal range, and significant elevation of these enzyme activities could indicate liver damage, inflammation, or cell death.…”

“…Enzymes mannanase and NSPase could help use NSP in feed, and protease enzyme can increase the use of protein [8]. Koranteng et al [15] stated that the ADG on the addition of 10% PKC with a mixture of 0.05% enzymes (xylanase, β-glucanase, cellulase, α-amylase, phytase, and protease) in the chicken broiler strain Sasso X44 had the highest ADG compared to the control and PKC 20% plus enzyme. Adding 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg of β-mannanase to poultry feed improves energy and amino acid intake [16].…”

“…It is one of the most unsaturated animal fats because it has the greatest amount of oleic acid (49%) and the least linoleic acid content (22%) (Suresh et al, 2019). Due to high cost of alternative energy sources, poultry oil is reintroduced in poultry industry, having high nutritional contents and low cost (Korantenga et al, 2022). It has the highest percentage of oleic acid (49%) and the lowest amount of linoleic acid (22%), making it the most unsaturated terrestrial animal fat.…”
