Determination of Apparent Metabolizable Energy of Mucuna Conchichinensis by a Rapid Method using Roosters
ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to determine the
apparent metabolizable energy (AME) of Mucuna Cochichinensis using nine
roosters, the birds were trained to consume their daily requirement in 1 hour.
The training lasted for 21 days. During the training the birds were fed
commercial chick mesh (Top feed) after which the birds were grouped into three
groups with three birds each. The three groups were allocated to three diet
comprising 100% of commercial chick mesh and a mixture of 50:50 boiled and raw
f'1. conchichinensis respectively. The birds were allowed to feed between the
hours of 9am[1]I oam the feeders
removed, droppings were collected quantitatively at 48 hours. The result shows
that boiled lvi. cunchichinensis has slightly high metabolizable coefficient
while raw M conchichinensis has slightly low metabolizable coefficient which
suggest that the energy of M. conchichinensis may be biologically available than
the energy of ingredient in commercial feed
