Effect of feeding processed sorghum on carcass traits and organ growth in broilers

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to examine the influence of reconstituted sorghum inclusion and enzyme supplementation on carcass traits and growth of digestive and immune organs in broilers. Substituting maize by sorghum or its processed forms in broiler diets did not exert any significant influence on per cent eviscerated yield. However, per cent feather loss was lower (P0.05) due to inclusion of sorghum. The processed sorghum alone or supplemented with enzymes can be economically substituted in broiler diets replacing maize to an extent of 75 and 100% for optimum meat production in broiler chickens
