Abstract

The potential for the utilization of Mucuna seeds as an alternative source of protein was evaluated by presoaking in water then in sodium bicarbonate solution + boiling treatment on the one hand and isolating protein technique on the second hand on the growth and hematological performances of broilers. A total of 135 one-day-old Cobb500 broilers, divided into three groups of 45 animals each were randomly allocated to three treatment diets with 3 replicates (n=15/replicate) each per treatment and fed ad libitum with three iso-protein diets: Diet 1 (RTS) given to the Control batch contained soya bean meal and this principal protein source was completely replaced by M. pruriens seeds meal in Diet 2 (RFM) and by protein isolated from M. pruriens in Diet 3 (RIM) given to batches 2 and 3 respectively. Results revealed that FI, ADG, PER, Carcass yield, Hb and Hct were comparable but significantly (p<0.05) low in broilers fed RFM (77.01 g/26.16 g/1.99/68.69%, 11.98 g/dL/28.46% respectively) and RIM (76.98 g/25.88 g/2.08/67.61%, 12.05 g/dL/28.28% respectively) diets and also in all characteristics of the digestive tract. The inverse trend i.e. highest (p<0.05) but comparable values of Heart (0.74 g/RFM; 0.77 g/RIM) was observed in these same animals; Birds fed RIM diet registered the lowest (p<0.05) BWG (711.04 g) and LW (799.65 g) but the highest (p<0.05) FCR (3.45). These results suggest that meal and protein isolate of M. pruriens seeds could be valorised in broiler diet subject to further investigations in growth-finishing phase.
