The competition between man and livestock for some of these feed ingredients coupled with high cost has necessitated the search for alternative, non-conventional feed ingredients that would suitably replace the conventional ones used in formulating poultry diets.The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of toasted, fermented, and raw sicklepod seed meal (SSM) based diets on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The seeds of sicklepod were harvested, threshed, cleaned, and processed. A total of 240-day-old (Cobb 500) broiler chickens were purchased and randomly distributed to four treatments, 60 birds each, replicated thrice, 20 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design. The results on the performance of broilers fed SSM-based diets at starter phase (2 – 4) weeks show no significant (P>0.05) difference for daily feed intake (DFI), daily weight gain (DWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The results at finisher phase (5 – 8) weeks) show a highly significant (P<0.01) difference for DFI, DWG, and FCR. The results on the performance at overall phase 2 – 8 weeks shows a highly significant (P<0.01 difference for DWG while DFI and FCR are significantly (P<0.05)different but mortality was not significant at all the phases. The results indicated that there was high feed utilization and an increase in daily weight gain of the broilers fed the processed SSM but birds fed diets containing fermented SSM recorded the best. Therefore, it is concluded that livestock farmers should use 10.0 % fermented SSM to feed broiler chickens as a protein ingredient, while the absence of mortality observed among the birds, proves safety in feeding broilers with SSM. Further research should be carried out on other monogastric animals using SSM. \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000Le coût des ingrédients des aliments conventionnels est toujours sur l'augmentation d'une année à l'autre, entraînant une augmentation du coût des produits d'origine animale, notamment des protéines animales.

However, its allergenic potentials coupled with the higher digestibility and therapeutic potentials of small ruminant milk make the milk of ewe and doe a suitable alternative to consider. Although several researches have been carried out to assess compositions of milk of animals, assessments across their proximate alongside their cow milk counterpart have not been extensively reported. This study was carried out to assess the proximate compositionof raw milk from cow, ewe and doe.Bulk sample of fresh milk from cow ewe and goat were obtained once and analysed in four(4) replicate per species. Protein, fat, lactose and solids non fat of cow and ewe milk were analysed using the automated lactoscan milk analyser. Doe milk parameters as well as total solids and ash content of all samples were analysed according to the standard methods of the A.O.A.C.Data generated were subjected to One-way Analysis of Variance in a Completely Randomized Design. Significant differencesbetween treatment means were separated using Duncan Multiple range test. Results obtainedindicated that ewe milk had the highest (p<0.05) percentage of milk protein (4.51%), fat (6.65%) and totalsolids (16.15%).

Hence, an experiment was conducted with 16 West African dwarf bucks of age between 5 and 9 months using graded levels of boiled wild cocoyam (Caladium bicolor) and supplement with Guinea grass as based diet to check their performance. The inclusion levels of boiled Caladium bicolor meal (BCBM) were A (0% BCBM)), B (10% BCBM), C (20% BCBM) and D (30% BCBM), in a completely randomized design (CRD). The bucks were also randomly divided into four treatment groups. Each treatment group has four goats with a goat being a replicate in their respective group. Feed consumed, total and daily weight gain were obtained while feed conversion ratios were computed for each treatment group. The result showed significant differences (P>0.05) in their total and daily weight gain between treatment groups. Treatment A in their total weight gain of 1.30kg differed significantly from B (1.94), C (2.37) and D (2.62), but the value of 2.37kg obtained for treatment C was similar to value of treatment D (2.62) statistically (P>0.05). The significant differences (P>0.05) in their daily feed intake, followed the same pattern as in their total weight gain. Feed conversion ratio values showed that treatment B, C, and D which contain 10% BCBM, 20% 30% BCBM respectively were statistically similar (P>0.05), but these three treatments (B, C and D) differed significantly (P>0.05) from treatment A (control). Their feed economics Showed no significant difference (P<0.05) among the treatment groups in all the parameters (cost of feed consumed (N), total weight gain, cost/weight gain (N/kg), price/kg meat (N) and total revenue (N)), but cost per kg weight gain was least (N 47.73) for diet C (20% BCB) followed by D (N48.95) and C (N52.42) and highest in the control diet A (N125.54). Since 30% boiled C. bicolor inclusion level promoted best growth rate at the lowest cost per kg feed consumed, it is therefore recommended as an ingredient for goat diet. \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000L'indisponibilité et la faible qualité des matériaux de fourrage au cours de la saison sèche confrontée aux animaux des ruminants affectent directement leurs performances de croissance et de reproduction.

The use of biomolecules containing antioxidants and nutrients essential for growth and reproduction in rabbits have been established. However, information on the effect of carrot seed meal (CSM) on semen qualitative and quantitative characteristics of rabbit bucks is scanty and thus investigated. A 10-week investigation was conducted in order to assess the effects of orally administered CSM on reproductive performance and semen characteristics of rabbit bucks. A total of 24 mixed breed, adult rabbit bucks were randomly allotted to four treatments with six replicates each (T1-control, T2-0.2mg CSM/kg body weight, T3-0.4mg CSM/kg body weight and T4- 0.6mg CSM/kg body weight) in a completely randomised design. On weeks 8, 9 and 10, semen samples were collected from replicate bucks for semen quality assessment using standard procedures. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at á 0.05. Semen colour and mass activity were not influenced by CSM levels. Sperm cell livability was higher in bucks on T3 (100.00±0.00 %), T4 (100.00±0.00%) 'and T2 (98.67±2.31%) compared to T1 (94.67±1.53%). Spermatozoa motility observed at weeks 9 and 10 was significantly (P<0.05) lower in bucks in the control group (80.33±1.53% and 68.00±10.00% respectively compared to those on CSM administration. Epididymal weight and epididymal sperm reserves were significantly (P<0.05) higher in bucks on T2, T3 and T4 than bucks on the control (T1). The average paired weights ( ) and sperm reserves (9.43±2.21×108 ) of epididymis of bucks administered 0.40mg CSM were the highest among the treatments. Testicular weight, sperm reserves per gram testis, daily sperm production and sperm production efficiency were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by varying levels of CSM. Reaction time observed in control bucks (11.50±3.55 seconds) was significantly higher compared to those on CSM administration. However, libido score was apparently lower in control bucks (8.00±1.83) compared to bucks administered CSM. Highest conception rate of 75% was obtained in rabbit does mated with T3 (75.00±6.25%) compared to other treatments.

To minimize moulting stress and mitigate its negative impacts, requires the adoption of management practices that reduce microbial infection, and spread, and enhance performance before, during, and after moulting. The present study therefore, evaluated the effects of ginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizome powder dietary supplementation on pre- and post-moult performance of shaver brown (SB) and indigenous (IC) layer chickens (85 weeks of age, 65 weeks in lay). The study was in three phases namely Phase I: pre-moulting evaluation, phase II: moulting treatment, and phase III: post moult evaluation. For each study, birds received 12 h natural light, and darkness, and were housed in individual laying cages provided with water nipples and feeding trough. Parameters measured were body weight (BW), hen day egg production (HDEP), and egg weight (EW). Results showed improved pre- and post-moult BW, HDEP, and EW in both genotypes in the groups fed dietary ginger powder. Genotypes did not differ significantly within dietary groups in the studied traits. Fasted SB hens fed ginger diet oviposited earlier than counterparts fed basal diet but the latter group attained 50 % HDEP earlier. Moulting BW loss was higher in fasted birds and in birds fed ginger diet pre-moulting than those fed basal diet. Whereas fasted SB hens oviposited during the period of study, the IC could not. Laying attained 100 % in Zn moulted genotypes and 66.8 % in fasted SB within 21 d post moulting. It is concluded that high dietary Zn is equally effective as fasting in moulting aged layer chickens and that ginger rhizome powder dietary supplementation improves pre- and post moult performance of laying hens. A shorter than 14 days moulting treatment or moulting to a target body weight loss is recommended for light breeds like the IC to enhance recovery and early postmoult egg production. \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000La mue induite chez les poules génère un énorme stress physiologique qui compromet la santé, les performances après la mue et la sécurité alimentaire.

Agronomic indices, dry matters yield (DMY) and proximate composition were monitored. Results showed no significant (P>0.05) differences in all the agronomic indices (plant height (PH), leaf number (LN), leaf length (LL), leaf breath (LB) and leaf area (LA) across the plant locations. Significant (P<0.05) influence was observed for PH, LN, LL,LB and LA across the stages of growth.

To this end, the response of broiler chickens fed various medicinal plants methanol extract as a replacement for antibiotics was investigated. A total of 180 unsexed Ross strain broiler chickens were randomly assigned to four available plant leaf extract namely, Gercinia kola (Bitter Kola), Alcornea cordifolia (Christmas bush), Pterocarpus santalinoides (Red scandal wood) and Chromolaena odorata (Hagony or Siam weed). Each treatment group had 30 birds each. The treatments were replicated thrice with 10 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were provided ad libitum throughout the experiment which lasted for 56 days. Serum biochemical indices of the broiler chickens were evaluated. Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed in the mean values of all the parameters measured with the exception of total protein and globulin. However, the values (4.75 – 6.65g/dl) obtained did not reveal any health problem. In conclusion, the findings of this study showed that the medicinal plant methanol extracts have considerable potentials as component of broiler chicken diet.

Garlic was also reported to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties in animal models. However, there is paucity of information on its effect on haematological indices of laying hens. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of inclusion of raw garlic in the diet of Nera black hens on their performance and haematological indices. One hundred and twenty 18- week-old Nera black pullets were randomly distributed to 6 dietary treatments containing 0%(T1), 1%(T2), 2%(T3), 3%(T4), 4%(T5) and 5%(T6) inclusion levels of Raw Garlic(RG) over 10 weeks. Each dietary treatment consisted of 10 replicates of 2 birds each. Feed intake, Egg weights (EW) and Hen Day Production (HDP) were recorded. Blood samples were collected at the termination of the experiment and analysed for haematological indices. Feed intake and EW were similar among treatment groups. Inclusion of 2% RG caused an increase in HDP (74.4%) when compared with birds fed 4%RG (56.2%), 5%RG (64.6%) and 0%RG (57%).Inclusion of varying levels of RG increased the haematocrit of birds in T2(32.0%), T3(33.6%), T4(29.6% ), T5(32.4%), T6(35.4%) versus T1(26.0%). The inclusion of 2%RG significantly increased the white blood cell ((6.9x109 /l) when compared with the WBC (4.8 x109 /l) of birds fed the control diet. The values of haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentrations were similar in all treatment groups. Inclusion of RG up to 2%increased HDP and improved the PCV of laying hens while higher RG inclusion levels (5%) had no additional economic value to laying hens. \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000L'ail a été rapporté par divers chercheurs pour réduire les lipides dans les études humaines et animales.

The study lasted for 8 weeks with feed and water offered ad-libitum. Data werencollected on haematological (packed cell volume, red blood cell, haemoglobin, white blood cell, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, lymphocyte, neutrophils) and serum (cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein) indices and were subjected to analysis of variance using the general linear model of SAS. All parameters measured on haematological and serum indices were not significantly (P>0.05) different in birds fed scent leaf meal and the control diet. Values obtained on haematological indices and liver function indices were within the normal range for chickens as reported in prior literature. Birds fed 100g scent leaf had lower white blood cell count than those fed 50g and 150g and even the control. The lipid profile of birds fed up to 150g scent leaf (O. gratissimum) showed improved protein function with good lipid profile and having reduced values for high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride and cholesterol than the control. It can be concluded that inclusion of scent leaf meal up to 150g did not pose any adverse effect on the haematological indices and normal functioning of the liver of broiler chickens and lipid profile. \u0000  \u0000  \u0000  \u0000Une expérience a été menée à l'unité de volaille de la ferme d'enseignement et de recherche, faculté d'agriculture, université d'État de Kaduna, Kafanchan, campus pour déterminer l'effet de l'alimentation de niveaux gradués de farine de feuilles parfumées (Ocimum gratissimum) sur les performances de croissance et les caractéristiques de la carcasse du poulet à griller.

A total of seventy-two Noiler chicken of both sexes with an average weight of 55.00±8.52g were allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomised design with each treatment having three replicates. The freshly harvested BLM were air-dried and BC prepared, using standard procedure, were milled and incorporated into the bird's diet. Commercial broiler feeds were purchased and used as the basal diet. Birds in the first treatment (T1) were fed the basal diet only while those in the second treatment (T2) were fed combination of the basal diet and 0.5% BLM, third treatment (T3) combination of the basal diet and 0.5% BC and fourth treatment (T4) fed combination of the basal diet with 0.5% BLM and 0.5% BC. Feed and water were given ad libitum. At day 42 of the feeding trial, faecal samples were collected for ammonia production using Kjeldahl method, blood samples (5mL each) were collected for haematological parameters and three birds per replicate were sacrificed and ileal content collected for the gut microbial count following standard procedures. The faecal nitrogen value of 9.83±0.75 in noiler chickens fed T2 was significantly higher than in other treatmentswhileT4 was lowest(5.57±0.92). Significant differences (p<0.05)were also noticed in the Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Haemoglobin Counts, White Blood Cells (WBC) and the Platelets. The PCV value of 46.67±7.69recorded in birds fed T2 was higher than others while 28.67±3.71 in T3 was the lowest. Birds fed T2 had the highest haemoglobin count (14.87±2.35) and least for those on T3(9.33±1.17). Also, noiler chickens fedT2 recorded the highest WBC count (286333.33±34671.47)while the lowest value(11716.67±3927.50) was observed in those fed T1. Similar trend was observed in platelet, where the highest value of 286333.33±34671.47 was recorded in birds fed T2 and the lowest (142000.00±27006.17) in those fed T1. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the gut microbial population across all the treatments.
