Evaluation of Optimum Inclusion Level of Poultrystar® as a Replacement for Antibiotic Growth Promoters in Broiler Chicken Production in Nigeria
Keywords:
Poultrystar®, Antibiotic growth promoter, Performance, Broiler chickens
Abstract
A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the response of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with Poultrystar® as replacement for antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs). A total of 225, day-old broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were allotted randomly to five dietary treatments each replicated thrice, with 15 chicks per replicate. Poultrystar® was included at 0, 40, 60 and 80 g/100 Kg diet for T1-T4, respectively while T5 had Oxytetracycline. Data was collected on growth performance indices and carcass parameters. All data collected were subjected to analysis of variance and significant differences among treatment means were compared using the Dunnett test of significance. The result for the starter phase showed no significant (P>0.05) difference in final weight and weight gain between the groups fed antimicrobials and the control except those fed 80 g/100kg Poultrystar who were significantly (P<0.05) lower. But bids fed 40 g/100kg Poultrystar had significantly (P<0.05) better FCR and cost of feed per kg gain. However, during the finisher phase, birds fed 60 g Poultrystar per 100kg diet had significantly higher final weight, weight gain, feed intake and better FCR and cost per kg gain compared to both AGP fed and the control group. Dressed weight and dressing percentage were also higher compared to both groups. Poultrystar significantly improved feed conversion in the starter and finisher phases and increased weight gain in the latter, similarly, it lowered feed cost and improved feed conversion ratio ultimately leading to more profit.
