This study examined the effect of Mucuna seed powder (MSP) supplementation on performance meat and health status of broiler chickens. A total of 300 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 5 treatments with 6 replicates of 10 birds each as follows: Diet 1 (control) Diet 2 (diet supplemented with 1.1 oxytetracycline OXYT) Diet 3 (diet with 0.5 MSP) Diet 4 (diet with 1.0 MSP) and Diet 5 (diet with 1.5 MSP). The dietary MSP supplementation significantly (P0.05) increased the daily body weight gain of the broiler chickens compared to those fed the control diet at the starter phase and overall (1-42 days) period of the feeding trial. No significant differences were observed in the measured aspartate aminotransferase (AST) creatinine and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) among the treatments. The broiler chicken fed diets supplemented with MSP had higher (P0.05) total serum glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase compared to those fed the control diet. The concentration of muscle cholesterol and lipid peroxidation reduced significantly (P0.05) in the birds fed MSP supplemented diets compared to those fed the control diet. In conclusion this study has shown that MSP can be used up to 1.5 as a potential phytogenic feed supplement in a broiler diet to enhance the growth performance maintain the carcass traits boost endogenous antioxidants and reduce meat cholesterol level and lipid oxidation.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of Mucuna seed powder (MSP) supplementation on performance meat and health status of broiler chickens. A total of 300 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 5 treatments with 6 replicates of 10 birds each as follows: Diet 1 (control) Diet 2 (diet supplemented with 1.1 oxytetracycline OXYT) Diet 3 (diet with 0.5 MSP) Diet 4 (diet with 1.0 MSP) and Diet 5 (diet with 1.5 MSP). The dietary MSP supplementation significantly (P0.05) increased the daily body weight gain of the broiler chickens compared to those fed the control diet at the starter phase and overall (1-42 days) period of the feeding trial. No significant differences were observed in the measured aspartate aminotransferase (AST) creatinine and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) among the treatments. The broiler chicken fed diets supplemented with MSP had higher (P0.05) total serum glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase compared to those fed the control diet. The concentration of muscle cholesterol and lipid peroxidation reduced significantly (P0.05) in the birds fed MSP supplemented diets compared to those fed the control diet. In conclusion this study has shown that MSP can be used up to 1.5 as a potential phytogenic feed supplement in a broiler diet to enhance the growth performance maintain the carcass traits boost endogenous antioxidants and reduce meat cholesterol level and lipid oxidation.
