- W2255753903 abstract "The potential of Mongongo (Ricinodendron rautanenii schinzj as a source of proteinin broiler rations was investigated. In the first trial, Soybean-based and Mongongobaseddiets were formulated and fed ad libitum to broilers for six weeks. Thetreatments were: SOY (Soybean alone); SOY + A (Soybean + methionine + lysine);MG (Mongongo alone); MG + A (Mongongo + methionine + lysine); MG + A + T(Mongongo + methionine + lysine + tryptophan). In the second trial the first threetreatments in the first trial (SOY, SOY + A and MG) were reformulated, while threeother treatments; HMG (Heat treated Mungongo alone), HMG + A (Heat -treatedMongongo + methionine + lysine), and HMG + A + T (Heat-treated Mongongo +methionine + lysine +tryptophan) were also formulated and fed for another six-weekperiod. Mongongo meal was heated to 125°C for 15 minutes in an attempt todeactivate the supposedly present antinutritional factor, ricin. A CompletelyRandomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments in the first trial, and 6 treatments in thesecond trial replicated 3 times was used. There were no significant differences in feedintake between birds on SOY and those on SOY + A in both trials. However, feedintake, live, dressed and carcass weights for birds on Soybean-based diets werehigher than those for birds on Mongongo-based diets. Addition of amino acids, lysineand methionine, increased intake and improved the performance of birds onMongongo diet in terms of live, dressed and carcass weights more when Mongongowas untreated by 502%, 507% and 571% respectively, while when heat-treated theperformance was improved by 149%, 203% and 239% respectively.Addition of theamino acid, tryptophan, increased the performance of birds on Mongongo diet inIVterms of live, dressed and carcass weights by 15%, 15% and 16% respectively, onlywhen Mongongo was heat-treated, but reduced the performance of birds onMongongo diet when it was untreated by 6%, 7% and 5%, respectively. Heat treatingMongongo increased the performance of birds in terms of live, dressed and carcassweights by 95%, 92% and 105% respectively. Feed Conversion Ratios (FCRs) for thetreatments were in the order: MG > SOY > SOY +A > HMG > HMG +A + T > HMG+ A during the second trial, while during the first trial the order was MG > SOY >MG + A + T > SOY + A > MG + A. Liver and gizzard weights expressed aspercentages of carcass weights were higher in birds on Mongongo-based diets thanthose on soybean-based diets. Carcass crude protein percentages differed in the order:SOY + A > SOY > HMG + A + T > HMG + A >MG >HMG, whereas carcass fatpercentages were in the order: MG > HMG > HMG + A > HMG + A + T > SOY >SOY +A. Mongongo-based carcasses had higher (P<0.05) fat percentages. Carcasscalcium and phosphorus percentages were in the same order: SOY + A > SOY >HMG + A + T > HMG + A >MG > HMG. Carcasses of birds fed Mongongo-baseddiets had lower (P<0.05) ash percentages than those for birds fed Soybean-baseddiets. The order of carcass ash…" @default.
