Effect of added graded level of crashed ground nut seeds on broiler performance

Abstract

The study was conducted at College of Animal Production Science and Technology , Sudan University of Science and Technology, one hundred and twenty day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to four treatments of 30 chicks of 3 replicated to determined the effect of added crushed ground nuts seed (CGNS) on broiler performance . Four iso -caloric and iso-nitrosenous diets were formulated contained graded levels of crushed ground nut seeds 0%, 5% ,7%, 9% . Each experimental group was fed its signed diet for 42 days as experimental period . The results showed that there was significant different (p≤.05) in the daily feed intake g/bird/day a mange experimental groups.Group of(7%CGNS) has a highly value of ( 4375.3±252.45) followed by C group(7%) , group D (4072.3±168.66) , group B (3660.8 ±238.04) and group A (3652.0±382.19).For daily weight gain (g )FCR , final body weight (g/bird) , carcass weight(kg) and mortality(%) no significant different was observed. A highly FCR recorded by group B (5%) of (1.90±.02) while a highly final body weight value of (2181.7±54.85) was observed by group (A) ,carcass weight(kg)(1.55±87.37)was observed by group B(5%) . Commonly the results showed the addition of crushed ground nut seed had not any negative affection the folic health throughout experimental period .
