About this title

Synopsis

An experiment was conducted to determine the impact of plantain, Bio-Sel-E and commercial broiler diet on the growth performance, feed conversion ratio, performance index and carcass yield of broiler. The highest (P<0.05) body weight gain was attained in Bio-Sel-E-diet among the four groups. Feed conversion ratios of plantain, Bio-Sel-E, and commercial broiler diet were lower (P<0.05) than the control. The significantly similar performance index was found in plantain, Bio-Sel-E and commercial broiler diet group, which were significantly (P<0.01) higher than control. The dressing yield of plantain and commercial broiler diet were higher (P<0.05) than Control and Bio-Sel-E diet group. The abdominal fat content of Plantain and Bio-Sel-E diet were lower (P<0.05) than those of Control and commercial broiler diet. It could be concluded that the Supplementation of 0.5% plantain in the diet had positive effect on growth, feed intake, Feed conversion ratio, performance index and carcass characteristics of broilers almost similar of Bio-Sel-E and commercial broiler diet.
