Nutrient digestibility, haemo-biochemical parameters and growth performance of an indigenous chicken strain fed canola meal–containing diets
(SpringerLink, 2019-06-06)
Canola meal (CM) is a potential alternative dietary protein source for indigenous chickens but its utility may be limited by anti-nutrients such as fibre and phytochemical compounds. This study, therefore, explores the ...
Effect of imbrasia belina (westwood), tylosema esculentum (Burchell) schreiber and vigna subterranea (L) verde as protein sources on growth and laying performance of tswana hens raised under intensive production system
(Scientific Journal of Animal Science, 2013-01-27)
A feeding trial was conducted to determine growth and laying performance of indigenous Tswana hens fed diets formulated with four different protein sources consisting of either Tylosema esculentum (Burchell) or Vigna ...
Soybean replacement value of canola meal as measured by growth performance and feed efficiency in broiler chickens: Insights from a meta-analysis: CANOLA MEAL HAS POOR REPLACEMENT POTENTIAL FOR SOYBEAN IN BROILER DIETS
(Elservier, 2025-03)
While the use of canola meal (CM) as an alternative to soybean meal in broiler diets is well documented, the results are still conflicting. Therefore, this meta-analysis combines results from multiple studies to provide a ...
Effect of Imbrasia belina (Westwood) or Vigna subterranea (L) Verde or Tylosema esculentum (Burchell) Schreiber as protein sources in diets fed to Tswana hens on egg quality
(Integrity Research Journals, 2018-12-12)
A 90 days study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding Tswana hens reared under intensive system and fed diets formulated from Imbrasia belina (Westwood), Vigna subterranea (L) Verde and Tylosema esculentum ...
Impact of grape pomace on growth performance, carcass traits and meat colour in broiler chickens: Insights from a meta-analysis
(Elservier, 2025)
Grape pomace (GP) is a by-product from grape juice and wine production that is rich in potentially beneficial phytochemical compounds. Accordingly, several studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of including ...
Effect of stocking density on performance of broiler chickens
(FUTO, 2020)
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of stocking density on growth performance of broiler chickens reared at five stocking densities (i.e., 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 birds/m2) up to 35 days of age in an open-sided ...
A survey on rabbit production in the city of Gaborone, Botswana
(Intergrity Research Journals, 2019-05-30)
This study was conducted to provide information on rabbit production in 20 operations in the City of Gaborone, Botswana. Data were collected from individual rabbit breeders and educational institutions (5) using a structured ...
Nutritional and phenolic profiles of Hibiscus cannabinus L.: Food and feed industries prospect
(Elservier, 2025-06)
Hibiscus cannabinus L. (kenaf) plant of the Malvaceae family is primarily a fibre crop with high in dietary proteins, fibre and bioactive phytochemicals of significant nutritional and therapeutic benefits making it a ...
Partial replacement of soybean products with canola meal in indigenous chicken diets: size of internal organs, carcass characteristics and breast meat quality
(Elservier, 2019-07-30)
While the use of canola meal (CM) as an alternative to soybean meal in broiler diets is well-documented, there is no information on the utility of this valuable by-product for slow-growing indigenous chickens. This study ...
Fungal-mediated solid-state fermentation ameliorates antinutritional factors but does not improve in vitro digestibility of marama (Tylosema esculentum) beans
(Elservier, 2025-06)
Beans from the orphan legume Tylosema esculentum (marama plant) have the potential to partially or completely replace soybeans in human and animal diets. However, their high levels of antinutritional factors and low levels ...
