Feed utilization of foxtail millet (Setaria Italica) grain in broiler diets

Original language description

The aim of the study is the determination of the retention of crude protein (CP) and crude fat in the organism of broiler chickens after the addition of Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.) to the diet. At the same time, the performance parameters (live weight, carcass weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR)) were evaluated. Ross 308 male broiler chickens were included in the 36-day experiment, which were fed ad libitum diet of control (C), 5% of Foxtail millet (FM5) and 40% of Foxtail millet (FM40). In addition, their composition included the chromium oxide indicator (0.3%), which was used to determine the coefficients of apparent digestibility and retention of the already mentioned nutrients. The retention of CP was 67.78 % in the control mixture, 66.19% in the mixture FM5 and 68.62% in the mixture FM40. For crude fat, it was on average 84.95% (control mixture), 86.57% (FM5) and 90.21% (FM40). The CP retention of Foxtail millet was set at an average 73.15% over the observed period. There were no significant differences in the biochemical analysis of the blood (p &gt; 0.05) as well as in the production qualities of broiler chickens (assessed by the Scheffe test). The average carcass content was 69.07% for the control group, 69.05% for the FM5 group and 68.93% for the FM40 group. Feed conversion ratio was average 1.28 for control group, 1.32 for FM5 and 1.34 for FM40. Foxtail millet can therefore be included to the diet without negative impact on the health of the chickens or the nutrient retention, which increased compared to the control diet when 40% of the foxtail millet was added to the diet.
