Broiler, Fermented toasted gaur meal, Growth Performance and Carcass CharacteristicsAbstract
This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of dietary inclusion of fermented toasted guar meal (FTGM) on performance and carcass characteristics in broiler chicken. Two hundred and fifty (250) day-old commercial broiler chicks were randomly allotted to 5 dietary treatments with 10 replicates containing 5 birds in each replicate. Dietary treatments include T1- Control, T2- Toasted guar meal 15 % (TGM 15), T3- Toasted guar meal 20 % (TGM 20), T4- Fermented toasted guar meal 15 % (FTGM 15) and T5- Fermented toasted guar meal 20 % (FTGM 20). Dietary inclusion of TGM or FTGM at 15 and 20 %, shown significant (P<0.01) depression on body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake of broilers when compared to control group. However, the BWG in FTGM 15 group was significantly (P<0.01) higher than TGM 15 group. No significant difference in BWG of broilers in 20 % TGM or FTGM groups. The feed intake of broilers in TGM or FTGM included groups at same inclusion levels was comparable with no significant difference. The dietary inclusion of TGM at 15 and 20 % in broilers had significantly poorer FCR. However, inclusion of FTGM 15 in diet improved the FCR and was comparable to control and significantly (P<0.01) better than TGM 15 group. The FCR in TGM 20 and FTGM 20 groups was comparable with no significant difference. Dietary treatments did not influence the carcass characteristics of broilers. In summary, the fermented toasted guar meal can be included up to 15 % in the diet of broilers without showing any adverse effect on FCR and carcass characteristics.
