| dc.description.abstract | The nutritive value of brewers' spent grains (BSG) and two commercial poultry feeds produced try Arewa and Pfizer companies and the effect of feeding sodium metabisulphite-treated (1%) feed to day-old pullets have been investigated. The feed mashes were found to contain inadequate levels of a number of amino acids some of which are essential for birds. The BSG was found to be fairly rich in essential amino acids but it alone could not support the growth of s t a r t e r pullets while 25% BSG added to Pfizer chick mash when fed to starter pullets, resulted in significant (P < 0.05) growth retardation and increased mortality r a t e. However, a similar addition to Pfizer growers mash had no detrimental effect on the chicks. Addition of sodium metabisulphite to the wet BSG (3,000 ppm) enhanced the keeping quality of the BSG. Feeding day-old pullets with Arewa diet containing 1% sodium me tabisulphite for 8 weeks did not have any significant effect on d i g e s t i b i l i t y and feed consumption but resulted in gradual growth retardation without abnormal histological changes in the liver, kidneys and spleen. Blending the grain size of Arewa feed to fine particles resulted in a marked retardation in growth of and the amount of the feed consumed by the day-old chicks. | en_US |
