“…The source and processing of RD, diet formulation, and class and age of birds may all affect its utilisation by poultry. Contrary to previous reports on the beneficial effect of yeast (Oyedeji et al 2015) and xylanase (Mandey et al 2015) for supplementation of sun-dried RD meal, in this study enzyme supplementation provided no additional advantage. As earlier suggested, differences in the method of collection, processing, diet formulation and age of birds are all possible sources of variation in the performance of broilers fed RD-based diets.…”

“…Up to 10% of the diet as sun-dried bovine blood-RD maintained the growth of pullet chicks (Adeniji and Balogun 2001) and broilers (Makinde et al 2008). Oyedeji et al (2015) recommended 10.5% of the diet as sun-dried bovine blood-RD for broiler growth. Odunsi et al (2004) observed that replacing 15% of dietary soybean meal with sun-dried blood-RD meal was the safest level for broiler growth.…”

“…Poor palatability is the main limitation to using blood meal in animal feed; this can be overcome by feeding it with other protein sources (Dafwang et al 1986). There are reports on the inclusion of blood-RD meal in broiler diets, but many of these studies did not formulate isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets (Adeniji and Balogun 2001;Oyedeji et al 2015;Efrem et al 2016;Yitbarek et al 2016). In addition, several factors including diet composition, feed processing and class of birds may affect utilisation by poultry.…”

Context. Blood and rumen contents, which are currently considered wastes in many abattoirs, could be valuable ingredients in poultry feeding; however, several factors including high fibre and low energy may limit their dietary inclusion. There is need for more research on feed processing and diet formulation to maximise utilisation of these by-products in poultry feeding. Aim. We investigated the effect on broiler finisher performance of feeding bovine blood, rumen digesta and vegetable oil concentrate as a partial replacement for soybean meal. Methods. Three isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were formulated: a control diet based on maize and soybean meal, and two test diets. In the test diets, heat-processed blood-rumen digesta meal and vegetable oil concentrate replaced 50% of the soybean meal, with and without exogenous enzymes. Diets were allocated to five replicate pens containing six Ross broilers aged 21 days in a completely randomised design for a period of 21 days. Key results. Results showed no treatment effect (P > 0.05) on average daily feed intake but birds fed the test diets gained more weight (P < 0.05) and converted their feed more efficiently (P < 0.05) than the control group. Enzyme supplementation had no additional effect (P > 0.05) on growth performance. There were no dietary effects (P > 0.05) on relative weights of carcass and gut segments. Feed cost of liveweight gain and carcass weight was reduced (P < 0.05) on the test diets. Conclusion. Heat-processed blood-rumen digesta meal and vegetable oil concentrate can replace up to 50% of soybean meal in broiler fishier diets. At this level of replacement, enzyme supplementation is not required. Implications. The use of blood and rumen content in poultry diets has cost and environmental benefits.

“…Leaves and tender stem of cassava have been incorporated into broilers feed with encouraging result (Aderemi,et al, 2004). Oyedeji et al (2015) reported no detrimental effect of blood rumen content mixture (BRCM) meal supplemented with yeast on the performance and gut microbial populations of broiler chickens. Also Lamidiet al (2008) observed no adverse effect on the performance of chicken when 10% pineapple crush meal was used to replace maize.…”

An eight week feeding trial was conducted to assess the replacement value of instant noodle waste meal (INW) on the performance characteristic, carcass and haematological parameters of broiler chickens. Ninety, one-day old Anak 2000 chicks were randomly allocated to three treatment groups namely, diet 1 (0% INW), diet 2 (50% INW) and diet 3 (100% INW) in a completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment group had three replicates of ten chicks each. The inclusion of instant noodle in the diet did not have significant (P>0.05) effect on the performance of the broiler chickens at both starter and finisher phases. The inclusion of instant noodle waste had no significant (P>0.05) effect on the carcass traits and organ weights in broiler chickens. No significant (P>0.05) effect was observed for the packed cell volume, hematocrit, haemoglobin, leucocytes, and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration among the treatments. However, mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin were significantly (P< 0.05) influenced by the instant noodles inclusion, in the diets. Based on the present results INW could replace maize fraction of the diet partially or wholly without any adverse effect on performance, carcass and health status of broiler chickens.
