Email this article Carcass and Organ Characteristics of Broiler Chicken Fed Diets containing Fermented Mango Kernel Composite Meal
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of incorporating fermented mango kernel composite meal (FMKCM) in the diets of broiler chickens on carcass and organ characteristics. A total of 96 broiler chickens with similar weights were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments, with 24 birds per treatment. The diets consisted of 0% (control), 10%, 15%, and 20% fermented sun-dried mango kernel composite meals as a replacement for maize. The birds were fed these diets for a period of five weeks, and their feed intake and body weights were measured regularly. The study found that broilers fed the control diet showed similar results to those fed a diet with a 20% replacement of FMKCM in terms of weekly feed intake, body weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and feed efficiency. Furthermore, there were no significant differences observed in meat yield and meat distributions among carcass cut-off parts across the different dietary treatments. However, significant differences were observed in the weights of organs such as the heart, liver, kidney, spleen, and gizzard. These differences did not follow a regular pattern, suggesting that they were unlikely to be influenced solely by the dietary treatments. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that 48-hour fermented mango kernel composite meal can be included in broiler chicken diets up to a 20% level without adversely affecting carcass and organ weights.
