Performance Of Starter Broiler Fed Boiled Jackfruit Seedmeal (Artocarpus Heterophyllus):- Onwuachu, Anthony N.
ABSTRACT
The experiment
was conducted to test the effect of boiled jackfruit seed meal on the
performance and economics of starter broiler chicken. The experiment was
conducted using one hundred and twenty chicks. The chicks were fed formulated
diets containing JFM at Ti (0%), T2 (10%), T3 (20%) and T4(30%) levels of
inclusion. Each diets was fed to triplicate groups often (10) broiler chicks
each for 42 days in a completely randomized design (CRD). The birds were fed
ad-libitum throughout the period of the experiment. Data on growth and feed
intake were collected weekly and daily respectively. At the end of the rearing
period (i.e. the 6 weeks), the birds were weighed per treatment and replicate
to know the final weight gain. The results based on this indicated that
processing jackfruit by boiling reduced the content of tannin and oxalate but
apparently did not improved the nutritive value as growth and feed conversion
ratio were depressed as levels of treated seeds in the diet of broiler was
increased. This report shows that jackfruit is a potential feed resource and
could be included in the diet of broiler chicks, up to 10% level of inclusion,
which the birds can tolerate without any adverse effect on its performance.
