“…After complete combustion, the ash was allowed to cool and stored in airtight containers. The 0.1 M sodium hydroxide-equivalent strength of CPA was determined (Sobamiwa and Longe, 1994) and alkaline solutions equivalent to 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 g/kg of sodium hydroxide prepared. CBC (100 g) was soaked in 1 litre of each solution for 6 h at room temperature with occasional stirring.…”

1. The effectiveness of boiling (90 degrees C for 75 min) in water and alkali (cocoa-pod ash CPA solution) treatments for reducing the antinutritional factor (theobromine) in cocoa bean cake (CBC) and the influence of these treatments on the chemical composition, gross energy and metabolisable energy (ME) of CBC to the broiler chicken were examined. 2. Boiling did not affect crude protein content but resulted in lower ash, crude fibre, ether extract and gross energy values, and a 56% reduction in theobromine, while the use of increasing concentrations of cocoa-pod ash solution decreased crude protein, ether extract, theobromine and gross energy. 3. Mineral elements were significantly affected both by boiling and by cocoa-pod ash solution treatments. 4. There were no significant effects of hot water-treated or 5 g CPA/kg treated CBC on ME or MEn. However, efficiency of energy utilisation was improved. 5. Nutritional evaluation showed that there was a general decrease in performance at high dietary concentrations of CBC (treated or untreated). However, both forms of treatment (hot water-treated and 5 g CPA/kg treated CBC) significantly improved food utilisation and retention of nitrogen and dry matter.

“…Sobaiuiwa, treated CPH (TCPH) in cockerel diets. But Sobamiwa and Longe (1994) recorded a n insignificant effect of alkali treatment on the nutritional value of CPH for the broiler starter chick. This was adduced to the combined limiting effect of excess ash and residual alkali in TCPH which are unsuitable for poultry since they aggravate water consumption which in turn facilitates peristalsis for speedy passage of feed through the gastro-intestinal tract, allowing lesser time for digestion (Sunder and Jensen, 1987).…”

“…Drying to constant weight lasted 8-10 days. The dried husk was treated (Sobamiwa and Longe, 1994), with the modifications that 2% alkali was used in this trial and the husk was unground. Alkali treatment lasted for 24h after which the husk was soaked for 3h, rinsed twice and re-dried in the sun.…”

“…The cocoa-pod husk (CPH) is highly fibrous (>20(%, crude fibre) a n d the broiler chicken are exceptiolially sensitive to it (Sobamiwa and Longe, 1994). Abiola (19SS), however.…”

“…This observation is buttressed by the data on water intake (Table 2), which were not significantly different (P>0.05). In similar broiler chicken studies (Sunder and Jenson, 1987;Sobamiwa and Longe, 1994), in which attempts were made to upgrade the nutritive value of fibrous feedstuffs through alkali treatment, excess ash and residual alkali in treated materials prompted a rise in water consumption. Therefore, the method of alkali treatment used in the present study appeared effective in taking'care of excess ash and residual alkali characteristic of alkali-treated materials.…”
