Overview

Randomized trial evaluated nutrient digestibility and carcass traits in broiler chickens, suggesting optimal sorghum levels for feed.

Key Points

  • This research aimed to evaluate the impact of white sorghum soaked in wood ash extract on performance and nutrient utilization in broiler chickens.
  • One hundred and forty-four day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four diets in a completely randomized design.
  • Each treatment group included 36 birds, divided into three replicates of 12 birds.
  • Performance indicators assessed included live weight, feed intake, weight gain, and nutrient digestibility.
  • Birds fed the control diet (T1) had the highest live weight (733.00g) and feed conversion ratio (1.44).
  • The 25% white sorghum soaked in wood ash extract (T2) showed the best protein efficiency ratio (3.37).
  • A 50% inclusion level of white sorghum was observed to not negatively affect performance or carcass traits compared to the control.
