Assessing the Nutritional Potential of <i>Samsorg-25</i> (<i>Sorghum Bicolor</i>) as Energy Source in Broiler Chicken Diets

Abstract

This experiment was aimed to investigate growth performance and cost benefit of broiler chickens fed diets containing levels of samsorg-25 as replacement for red sorghum. Three-hundred-day-old broiler chickens were used in the study which was designed in a completely randomized designed. Feed and water were supplied ad lib and the trial lasted for 42 days. Results for experiment revealed a progressive significant (P<0.05) effect in favour of samsorg-25-based diets in terms of growth performance indices. Feed cost per kg gain decreased with increased level of dietary samsorg-25. It was concluded that samsorg-25 can completely replace red sorghum in broiler chicken diets without negative effect of growth performance and with concomitant reduction in feed cost.
