Egg Quality Characteristics Of Local And Hybrid Layers Fed Raw Pigeon Pea Seed Meal Diets
ABSTRACT
243 pullets (156 Isa brown and 78 local) were used to determine the quality of egg fed raw PSM diets. The experimental design was CRD. There were 5 treatments, each replicated 3 times with 12 layers of Isa brown per replicate and 6 layers of local bird per replicate. Inclusion level were 0%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. Eggs were picked at monthly interval, one egg per replicate. Parameters measured were: Haugh unit, egg shell, shell index, shell thickness, yolk height, diameter, egg length, width and weight. Results showed that the effect of genotype on external parameters were non significantly different (P>0.05) while the internal parameters: Albumen weight, yolk height, diameter and height unit were significantly different (P<0.05). for inclusion level, shell weight, shell thickness and shape index was significantly different (P<0.05). For Interaction between genotype and level of inclusion, all the parameters were not affected by treatment diets consumed but significantly higher than the layers. In conclusion, inclusion level of raw PSM diet should be included at 30 % so as to improve external and internal egg quality characteristics.
