Effect of Feeding Detoxified Blank Sorghum on Growth Performance, Feed Conservation Efficiency and Carcass Traits of Broiler Chicks

摘要

The total gain in body weight up to 6th week of experimental chicks was highest in T_0 (1.896 kg) followed by T_1, T_3 and T_2 (1.752, 1.686 and 1.422 kg), respectively. Significant differences were observed for feed conversion efficiency. TreatmentsT_1 and T3 were at par for FCR which indicated that feeding of detoxified sorghum had similar effect on growth as that of normal-sorghum. Non significant differences were observed for dressing percentage and meat:bone ratio. It was thus concluded that the black sorghum can be used as feed ingredient in broiler ration after detoxification. The 2.5 per cent ammnonia treatment can serve the purpose of detoxification.
