“…The relative increase in the DM content of FMJ seed could be as a result of extraction of the oil after fermentation. The values observed in this study however is lower than 97.47% reported by Oladele and Oshodi (2007) and the range of 94.26-97.71% for whole seed kernel seeds and variously processed Jatropha seed by Ojediran et al, (2014). The increase in DM content after processing has been reported by several workers (Belewa and Sam, 2010;Akande, et al, 2012).…”

“…In the raw seed, the values were 18.11 and 2.80% respectively while in the fermented seed it was 5.18 and 1.06% respectively. All the values obtained for anti-nutritive factors were higher than those reported by Ojediran et al (2014). Even though fermentation resulted in increased nutrient composition, it did not influence complete removal of the anti-nutritive factors.…”

“…The metabolizable energy value was higher (5177.82Kcal/kg) in the raw seed and lower value (3329.72Kcal/kg) was observed in the fermented seed. This could be explained by the fact that oil has been known to improve the energy content of feeding materials as observed by Ojediran et al (2014). The ME of both the raw and fermented Jatropha seed is higher than the value of 2430Kcal/kg reported by Olomu, (2011) for broad bean.…”

“…These values are higher than 24.60% reported by Akintayo (2004) for unfermented Jatropha kernel, 32.88 Abou-Arab and Abu-Salem, (2010) and 13.40 Ogbobe and Akano, (1993) for untreated Jatropha gossypifolia. The variations in the values when compared to other workers could be attributed to the differences in the species of the Jatropha as observed by Makkar et al (1998) and Ojediran et al (2014). CF content decreased from 4.13% in the raw seed to 2.10% after fermentation.…”

Two hundred (200) day-old broiler chicks were used to evaluate the effects of graded levels of fermented Jatropha curcas seed meal on growth performance, carcass yield and internal organ characteristics of broiler chickens. The chicks were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments consisting of four replicates of ten birds per replicate in a completely randomized design. The dietary treatments were the inclusion levels of fermented Jatropha curcas meal at 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7% and 10%. Data were collected for eight weeks on feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio. At the end of the experiment, 8 birds were randomly selected from each treatment and slaughtered to determine the effect of graded levels of fermented Jatropha curcas seed meal on carcass yield and internal organs characteristics. The result of growth performance revealed that all parameters measured were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the dietary treatments except FCR. Carcass yield and internal organs characteristics were significantly different (P<0.05) across the treatment groups except for large intestine weight. Birds on 2.5% replacement level gave better weight gain than other treatments that contain fermented Jatropha seed meal.

This study was conducted to determine intake and growth performance of broiler chicks fed with Jatropha curcas kernel meal physico-chemically and biologically processed. The feed experiment lasted for 7 days with 20-day-old Ross 308 strain unsexed broiler chicks. Two dietary treatments were given each to ten animals, according to a complete randomized design. Kernels, manually obtained from J. curcas seed, were defatted, heated, and fermented with a strain of Aspergillus niger and oven-dried, in order to obtain the treated jatropha kernel meal. This latter was used to replace one third of a groundnut meal premix which was then incorporated in a commercial diet to warrant iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric characteristics of the diets. Data collected were analyzed according to ANOVA procedure. The results revealed that the animals that received the diet incorporating jatropha kernel meal had numerically higher live weight (156.1 vs. 152.7 g/animal) (P > 0.05) and average daily weight gain (12.3 vs. 11.7 g/day/animal) (P > 0.05) than the control ones, at the end of experiment. The average daily feed intake was the same for the two groups of animals (23.2 g/day/animal) (P > 0.05) with a similar feed conversion ratio (2.0 vs. 2.1 respectively for the jatropha group and the control group). The survival rate, at the end of the experiment, was 100% for the two groups of animals. Physicochemically and biologically processed Jatropha curcas kernel could be an interesting by-product for poultry feeding.
