Abstract

This experiment was carried out to determine the effect of partial replacement of Soya meal with Sphenocentrum jollyanum seed meal on the growth performance and some haematological constituents of broiler chicken. 200 – one day old unsex broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were equally divided into four dietary treatments with five replications each replicate consists of 10 birds each. The experiment lasted for 42 days and the group consists of treatment 1 (control): basal diet only, Sphenocentrum jollyanum seed meal was partially used to replace soya meal at 5 %, 10 % and 15 % in treatment 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Feed and fresh water were made available at all times and a completely randomized experimental design was used. Proximate composition of Sphenocentrum jollyanum seed meal showed that it contained: crude protein of 35.17 %, dry matter of 89.02 %, crude fibre (5.91 %), ether extract (2.07 %) ash (9.08 %) and energy of 2555.4 Kcal/kg. Phytochemical composition of Sphenocentrum jollyanum seed meal revealed that flavonoids had the highest concentration of 57.95 (mg/100g), followed by saponins (35.18 mg/100g), phenols (28.01 mg/100g), tannins (12.93 mg/100g), alkaloids (8.66 mg/100g) and steroids (5.76 mg/100g). Experimental outcome revealed that feeding different levels of Sphenocentrum jollyanum seed meal increased (p˂0.05) body weight gain, feed consumption as well as feed conversion ratio especially at 10 % and 15 % compared to the other treatment. Partial replacement of soya meal with Sphenocentrum jollyanum seed meal did not influence (p˃0.05) the concentration of hematocrit, haemoglobin, red blood cell and platelet except the white blood cell count (p˂0.05). However, values were within the normal reference range for healthy birds. It was concluded that Sphenocentrum jollyanum seed meal can be used to replace soyabean meal up to 15 % without affecting the performance of broiler chickens
