Determination Of The True Metabolizable Energy (Tme) Of Raw And Heat-Treated Castor Ricinus Communis Using Adult Broilers
ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to determine the biologically available energy of Jicimis cominzinis seeds in terms of true metabolizable energy (TME) using twenty four (24) adult broileis. The seeds were subjected to three heat processing methods of boiling for 30 minutes (B30), boiling for 40 minutes (B40), soaking for 48 hours after 30 minutes (B3OS) boiling. A fourth lot was left raw (RRC). Each of the samples was ground, made into sluny and force fed to adult broilers that have been starved for 24 hours. Six broilers paired into three by weight were used for each sample. Each pair consisted of fed and unfed birds, which were left in individual cages with clean stainless frays covered with aluminum foil underneath for 24 hours. After this, the droppings were collected quantitatively, dried and combusted in bomb calorimeter. The B40 'and B3OS samples yielded true metabolizable energy (TME) values that were similar but significantly (P<0.05) higher than the true metaholizable energy of the B30, while the raw stock had the lowest TME value. The TME of the samples were: RRC (2.89 kcal!g), B30 (3.09 kcal/g), B40 (3.20kca1/g) and B3OS (3.29kca1/g). These represented TME yield of 57.46%, 65.75%, 68.09% and 70.60% for the RRC, B30, B40 and B3OS samples respectively. The results show that heat treatment can be used as means of processing Ricinus communis in order to improve its bioavailable energy.
