Implications of feeding different proprietary feeds to laying hens on stored egg functional properties were assessed in this study. Lohmann Brown layers (n=540) aged 59-week were randomly assigned to six proprietary feed brands: G, H, I, J, K and L. Each treatment was replicated ten times (a replicate had nine hens) for 12 weeks. At week-74 hen-age...

The effects of withdrawing supplemental dietary vitamin-mineral premix (DVMP) on meat quality attributes of finisher broiler chickens were investigated in this study. In a completely randomized design, 240 unsexed Arbor Acres broiler chicken strain at day 28 were randomly allotted to two treatments, each replicated ten times, a replicate had 12 chi...

The effect of dietary supplementation of vitamin C on point of cage pullets was investigated in a 7- week trial. Point of cage Bovan Brown pullets (n=96) aged 12 weeks were randomly allotted to three treatments of four replicates and eight birds per replicate. Birds were initially on a basal ration for three weeks followed by supplementation with 0...

Effect of supplemental inorganic selenium and vitamin E on haematological and selected serum biochemical indices of laying chickens was assessed in this study. In a completely randomized design, ISA brown hens (n=192) at week 24 of laying, were assigned to six experimental diets: T1 (Basal diet), T2 (Basal diet + 0.5mg selenium/kg), T3: Basal diet...

The vitamin profiles of selected common vegetables as affected by three different drying methods were investigated. Seven vegetables were each subjected to three drying methods: air drying, oven drying and freeze drying. The experiment was a 3x7 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design. Dried leaves were thereafter milled and analyze...

Vitamin supplements like most feed additives are used to promote performance and wellbeing of chickens. Often times, the effect of these supplements are only monitored on performance attributes with little efforts on their impact on quality of produce from poultry. This study was therefore designed to assess the quality attributes of eggs produced...

The effects of withdrawing supplemental dietary vitamin-mineral premix (DVMP) on meat quality attributes of finisher broiler chickens were investigated in this study. In a completely randomized design, 240 unsexed Arbor Acres broiler chicken strain at day 28 were randomly allotted to two treatments, each replicated ten times, a replicate had 12 chi...

Replacing dietary vitamin-mineral premix with leaf meal composites sustained the bone characteristics of broiler chickens 1 2 3 3 3 Effects of replacing dietary vitamin-mineral premix (VmP) with leaf meal composite (LMC) on bone characteristics of broiler chickens were undertaken in this study. Four leaves (Celosia argentea, Telfairia occidentalis,...

Effects of dietary supplementation of Ascorbic Acid (AA) on performance and physiological response of growing pullets were investigated in a 7-week trial. In a completely randomized design, Bovan Brown pullets (n=96) aged 12 weeks weighing 0.81±0.04 kg were randomly allotted to three treatments of four replicate and each replicate comprised eight b...

A persistent issue with ruminant production during the dry season in the tropics is scarcity of forages. Producers are faced with the search for alternative feed supplements to address this issue without compromising productivity. Acceptability of Piliostigma thonningii as dry season feed supplement to West African dwarf (WAD) goat was investigated...

Deposition of vitamin C (VC), iron and phosphorous in eggs of hens fed supplemental VC and vitamin D (VD) at the mid laying phase was assessed in this study. Bovans Brown pullets (n=576) aged 40 weeks were allotted to 12 treatments each replicated six times. A replicate comprised eight pullets. A basal diet (isonitrogenous and isocaloric) was formu...

This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of replacing dietary vitamin-mineral premix (VMP) with graded leaf meal composite (LMC) on the performance of broiler starter chickens. One-day old Arbor Acre chicks (n=320) were allotted to four treatments with eight replicates of ten chicks each in a completely randomized design. Air-dried leaves of...

Effect of dietary inclusion of vitamin C and D 3 supplementation on bone characteristics of hens aged 70 weeks at the late laying stage. Lohman Brown (n=180) were randomly allotted to 12 dietary treatments in triplicates of 5 birds each. The formulated basal diet was supplemented with three levels of vitamin C (0, 300 and 600 mg/kg) and four levels...

Nutritional additives in animal production are often targeted at further improving productivity. Supplementation beyond the conventional requirement of animals however, may make or mar animals' performance and well being. This study was conducted to assess the effects of dietary supplemental cholecalciferol on performance and blood profile of growi...

The effects of Biotronics SER (an acidifier) in a blood meal-based diet on haematology and serum indices of broiler finishers were assessed in this study. One hundred and eighty, one-day old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to four treatments in triplicates of 15 birds per replicate. Birds were initially raised on broiler starter diet devoid o...

Effect of supplementing groundnut cake (GNC) based-diets with L-lysine and DL-methionine on calcium and phosphorus retention in broiler chickens was evaluated in this study. In a completely randomized design, one-day-old Arbor Acre chicks (n=168) were randomly allotted to seven treatments each in triplicate of eight birds per replicate. Control bir...

Comparative use of oyster shell and limestone as sources of calcium in the diet of laying chickens 1 *2 2 2 2 Egg producers primarily use oyster shell or limestone as supplemental sources of dietary calcium.
