Performance And Economic Analysis Of Broiler Starter Fed Dried Rumen Digesta

Effect of Supplemental Microbial Protein Feed on the Broiler Growth Traits

“…The highest feed conversion ratio was recorded on broiler chicken fed on control diets and the lowest feed conversion ratio was recorded on broiler chicken fed on diets containing 20% microbial protein of dried rumen digesta (T5). The results of the current study are not in agreement with the previous findings by Esonu et al, (2006) who reported feed intake of the birds on varying inclusion levels of dried rumen digesta were significantly (p<0.05) higher than the control group. Adeniji and Jimoh (2007) observed there was significant effect (p<0.05) of the levels of rumen content on the observed feed intake.…”

“…Elfaki et al, (2015) reported that body weight gain was significantly (p<0.01) higher on dried rumen content. Esonu et al, (2006), who reported birds on diets containing dried rumen digesta recorded higher body weight gain than the control group. However, this increase in body weight was not significant (p>0.05).…”

Effect of Dietary Dried Silage of Rumen Contents on Productive and Immunological Performance of Broiler Chicks

“…Gebrehawariat et al (2016) who found there were positive responses in the weight gain and final weight of hens up to 10% level of dried rumen content inclusion. Our results are in line with that reported by previous studies (Emmanuel, 1978;El-Shaarrawi et al, 1988;Das et al, 1997;Adeniji andBalogun, 2001 andEsonu et al, 2006 who reported that, broilers fed diets containing dried rumen content recorded higher body weight and feed conversion than the control birds during the experimental period.…”

“…Rumen content contains microbial protein and high content of methionine and lysine. The content of rumen is an important source of vitamins especially B-complex vitamins and carbohydrates (Esonu et al, 2006). Rumen content improving feed digestion, improving immunity against diseases, increase growth and egg production in poultry, Low mortality rate, increase the intake of dry matter, and it saves production costs and thus lowers product prices (Esonu et al, 2006).…”

The Use of Untraditional Ration Constituents in Feeding of Growing Ducks B- Dried Rumen Contents

“…The results showed that, the feed intake by ducks fed on diets contained dried rumen content was not significantly (P>0.05) differed compared to control one. These results were agreed with that found by (Adeniji and Balogun, 2001;Esonu et al, 2007 andAdeniji, 2008) who showed that, the inclusion of rumen content was not significantly (P <0.05) increased feed consumption. On the contrary, Esonu et al (2006) and Adeniji and Oyeleke (2008) concluded that feed intake of the birds fed on varying dietary levels of dried rumen content were significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of the control group.…”
