ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to
determine the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) of Mucuna Cochichinensis
using nine roosters, the birds were trained to consume their daily requirement
in 1 hour. The training lasted for 21 days. During the training the birds were
fed commercial chick mesh (Top feed) after which the birds were grouped into
three groups with three birds each. The three groups were allocated to three
diet comprising 100% of commercial chick mesh and a mixture of 50:50 boiled and
raw M. conchichinensis respectively. The birds were allowed to feed between the
hours of 9am 10am the feeders removed, droppings were collected quantitatively
at 48 hours. The result shows that boiled m. cunchichinensis has slightly high
metabolizable coefficient while raw M conchichinensis has slightly low
metabolizable coefficient which suggest that the energy of M. conchichinensis
may be biologically available than the energy of ingredient in commercial feed.
