Feeding value of two yieldgard corn hybrids versus their isogenic counterparts treated with and without insecticides in broiler diets.

The use of yieldgard corn varieties and their isogenic counterparts treated with and without insecticide for broiler diets did not affect the performance of broilers in terms of feed consumption body weight gain and feed efficiency. This indicates that the different corn varieties used had similar nutrient composition. Likewise the absence of significant differences in dressing percentage with and without giblets and sensory evaluation indicates that the different corn varieties used had similar effects on carcass quality of broilers. Under the conditions in which this study was conducted it can be concluded that the absence of any significant difference in the performance and carcass characteristics of broilers suggests the safety of using the different yieldgard corn varieties and their isolines treated with and without insecticides as feed for broilers. Moreover there is no evidence to indicate that the use of different yieldgard corn varieties would alter the performance of broilers.

Abstract

The use of yieldgard corn varieties and their isogenic counterparts treated with and without insecticide for broiler diets did not affect the performance of broilers in terms of feed consumption body weight gain and feed efficiency. This indicates that the different corn varieties used had similar nutrient composition. Likewise the absence of significant differences in dressing percentage with and without giblets and sensory evaluation indicates that the different corn varieties used had similar effects on carcass quality of broilers. Under the conditions in which this study was conducted it can be concluded that the absence of any significant difference in the performance and carcass characteristics of broilers suggests the safety of using the different yieldgard corn varieties and their isolines treated with and without insecticides as feed for broilers. Moreover there is no evidence to indicate that the use of different yieldgard corn varieties would alter the performance of broilers.
