This study was carried out under controlled conditions in the Animal Bio-Assay laboratory in the University of Zimbabwe from April 1998 to June 1998. On day 21, birds were randomly allocated to one of the four dietary treatments. Diets were isonitrogenous, provided similar amounts of metabolisable energy (ME) and all other nutrients according to literature requirements. Birds were given ad libitum access to feed and water. After six weeks the birds were slaughtered and dressed weights and abdominal fat pad weights were recorded. Carcass samples were also analysed for dry matter, ash, crude protein, ether extractable fat, calcium and phosphorus. Increasing the proportion of duckweed in the diet was associated with a concomitant decrease in feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, dressed and abdominal fat pad weight (P 0.05) in birds fed the control diet and that containing 10 percent duckweed, except for the lower (P Journal of Applied Science in Southern Africa Vol.5, No.1 pp. 25-34","PeriodicalId":43299,"journal":{"name":"JASSA-The Finsia Journal of Applied Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87627024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was no clear relationship between VAM spore numbers and cropping history although among the cultivated plots, soils that had legumes as the previous or current crop generally had higher VAM populations than under sorghum.
