Abstract

In intensive poultry production, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria, addressing the issues of agricultural waste and feed costs for farmers is crucial. This study explores a solution by incorporating cassava waste into broiler chicken diets. The research examines its effects on economic factors, growth performance, carcass yield, and agricultural waste utilization over 8 weeks. Three hundred broiler chickens were divided into three groups: a control group without cassava waste and two treatment groups with 10% and 15% cassava waste inclusion. Results showed that a 10% inclusion improved key performance indicators such as weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and carcass weight, while a 15% inclusion was less efficient than the control. Economically, diets with 10% and 15% cassava tuber waste were more cost-effective than the control, emphasizing the economic benefits of cassava-based diets for broiler chickens, and offering a sustainable, cost-efficient feeding option for poultry farmers.

发展中国家的可持续家禽养殖：探索利用木薯废料提高家禽产量和经济可行性

在集约化家禽生产中，尤其是在尼日利亚这样的发展中国家，解决农业废弃物和农民的饲料成本问题至关重要。本研究通过在肉鸡日粮中添加木薯废料探索了一种解决方案。研究考察了木薯废料对经济因素、生长性能、胴体产量和 8 周内农业废料利用率的影响。300 只肉鸡被分为三组：不添加木薯废料的对照组和添加 10% 和 15% 木薯废料的两个处理组。结果表明，添加 10%的木薯废料可提高增重、采食量、饲料转化率和胴体重量等关键性能指标，而添加 15%的木薯废料的效率低于对照组。从经济效益上看，添加 10%和 15%木薯块茎废料的日粮比对照组更具成本效益，这强调了肉鸡饲用木薯日粮的经济效益，并为家禽养殖户提供了一种可持续的、具有成本效益的饲喂选择。
