Abstract

The present study evaluates the effect of replacing the dietary crude protein (CP) of vegetable source with that of maize gluten meal (MGM) on the performance, gut health and carcass composition of vencobb broilers. Two hundred day-old Vencobb chicks were randomly distributed into five treatments having four replicates of ten birds each. Treatments included CON: basal diet without MGM; MGM25: Replacement of 25% CP of vegetable source with MGM; MGM50: Replacement of 50% CP of vegetable source with MGM; MGM75: Replacement of 75% CP of vegetable source with MGM and; MGM100: Replacement of 100% CP of vegetable source with MGM. MGM25 birds had significantly (p<0.05) higher body weight gain (BWG) with the best FCR (1.69) among all the groups. Replacement of dietary vegetable protein with MGM above 50% led to significant (p<0.05) drop in BWG in comparison to CON. Ileal microbial plate count for E. coli and Lactobacillus were not affected (p>0.05) by the dietary inclusion of MGM. However, villus height, (VH, µ), villus height: villus width (VH: VW) and villus height: crypt depth (VH:CD) were improved in MGM25 and MGM50 groups compared to other groups. SOD and catalase activity was significantly higher (p<0.05) in MGM25. Eviscerated (dressed weight after removal of viscera) and drawn (eviscerated weight with giblets) percentage was severely affected above 50% replacement of vegetable source protein with MGM origin protein. Replacement of dietary vegetable protein with MGM protein at 25 % level yielded best results in terms of broilers’ performance with maximum economic returns.
