Assessment Of Phytotoxins/Anti-Nutritional Factors Contents Of Poultry Feeds In Nigerian
ABSTRACT
The anti-nutritional factors contents
of poultry feeds produced and distributed by four major animal feed companies
in Nigeria were evaluated. Analysis of poultry feed samples from four different
feed companies were carried out using different acceptable chemical methods of
analysis. Tannins, cyanogens, trypsin inhibitors, phytate ,oxalate and saponin
were among the anti - nutritional factors or phytotoxins detected in the feeds
at varying concentrations. The concentration of cyanide measured in these feeds
ranged 3.00 - 8.32, 8.21 - 22.18 ,2.50 - 20.20 arid 5.12 - 19.00mg kg 1 for
broiler finisher, growers mash, layers and starter feeds respectively. Tannin
levels ranged 0.02 - 0.14, 0.,06 - 0.19, 0.03 - 0.13 and 0.05 - 0.08 mgkg 1
respectively following the order above. Trypsin inhibitor activity of the feeds
ranged 60-138, 20 - 516, 60 - 126 and 40 - 159 Tui/g for the broiler finisher,
growers mash, layers and broiler starter feeds respectively. Varying
concentrations of oxalates, phytates,saponins and crude protein content were
also defected. These findings are discussed from nutritional and toxicological
points of view with respect to poultry animals.
