Keywords: Broiler chickens, locust bean seeds, growth response, carcass weights.
Present study was conducted to ascertain the effect of cooked African locust bean seed meal (CALBSM) diets on the growth response, organs weights and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. Two hundred and twenty five day old broiler chickens (Marshall strain) were fed with diets containing CALBSM at dietary level 0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30%, designated as Treatment 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5.. Diets were allocated with three replicates (n = 45) to experimental animals in a completely randomized design (CRD). The experiment lasted 9 weeks (4 weeks for initial phase, 1 week adjustment period and 4 weeks final phase). The results of growth response at initial phase showed significant differences (P<0.05) in final body weight (977.00 to 1194.33 g), total feed intake (1853.51 to 1905.96 g) and feed conversion ratio (1.63 to 1.79). The highest weight gain and better performance were recorded in chicks fed with 15% CALBSM based diets compared to others. Similarly, the performance of broiler chicken at final phase showed the significant differences (P< 0.05) in the final body weight (2585.75 to 2976.69 g), total weight gain of chicks (957.70 to 1369.70 g) and feed cost per weight gain (181.32 to 239.27 N/kg gain). Higher weight gains in all phases were recorded for broiler chickens fed 15% CALBSM based diet compared to others. Carcass weight (1661.24 to 2020.51 g) and dressing percentages (69.88 to 73.20%) were significantly (P<0.05) higher in chicks fed 15% CALBSM diet over others. Breast muscle (17.79 to 22.27%), thigh and drumstick (16.78 to 19.84%) were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. Results indicates that most of the organs (heart, lungs, pancreas and kidney) weight but liver did not show significant differences (P<0.05). However, there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the weight of gizzards and small intestines. Present findings lead authors to conclude that African locust bean seed meal cooked for 4 hours could be included in the diet of broiler chickens up 15% dietary level without any adverse effect on growth response, organs weights and carcass characteristics.
