چکیده مقاله :
This study was conducted using one hundred and eighty (180) day-old broiler chicks, of Anak strain to assess the levels of inclusion of indomie waste meal as a substitute for maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The birds were randomly assigned to dietary treatments using completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment contained 3 replicates and each replicate had 6 birds. The study lasted for eight weeks (56 days). The inclusion of indomie waste significantly (P<0.05) influenced final weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, breast, thigh and back weights. Significant (P>0.05) differences were not indicated in feed intake, neck, shank, wing and drum stick weights. Based on the observation from this study, it was concluded that broilers in the humid tropical region of Nigeria can tolerate indomie waste in the diets up to 100% level as substitute for maize without adverse effect on the performance and carcass yield, but the 25% indomie waste inclusion which yielded the best result is recommended for best broiler performance in the humid tropics.
این مطالعه با استفاده از صد و هشتاد جوجههای گوشتی (180) یکروزه، از سویه Anak برای ارزیابی تعداد گنجاندن ضایعات indomie به عنوان یک جایگزین برای ذرت در 0، 25، 50، 75 و 100 درصد انجام شد. پرندگان به طور تصادفی به تیمارهای جیره غذایی با استفاده از طرح کاملاً تصادفی (CRD) اختصاص داده شدند. هر تیمار شامل 3 تکرار و هر تکرار 6 پرنده بود. این مطالعه به مدت هشت هفته (56 روز) به طول انجامید. گنجاندن ضایعات indomie به طور معنیداری (05/0>P) وزن نهایی، افزایش وزن، ضریب تبدیل غذایی، وزن سینه، ران، پشت و طول ساق پا را تحت تأثیر قرار داد. تفاوت معنیداری در مصرف خوراک، وزن گردن، ساق پا، بال، ران، و طول بال وجود نداشت (05/0<P). براساس مشاهدات حاصل از این مطالعه، نتیجهگیری میشود که جوجههای گوشتی در منطقه گرمسیری مرطوب نیجریه میتوانند ضایعات indomie در جیره غذایی تا سطح 100 درصد به عنوان جایگزین ذرت بدون اثر سوء بر عملکرد و بازده لاشه را تحمل کنند، اما افزودن 25 درصدindomie بهترین نتیجه را برای عملکرد مطلوب جوجههای گوشتی داشت که استفاده از آن در مناطق استوایی مرطوب توصیه میشود.
