Carcass characteristics and gut histomorphology of marshall broilers fed maxigrain supplemented diets
(Scientific Research, 2013) Adeyemo, G.O; Oyinlola, K.T.; Longe, O.G.
One hundred and forty four day-old Marshall Chicks were randomly assigned to six dietary treatments to assess the influence of a cocktail enzyme (maxigrain) on the carcass characteristics, visceral organ weights and gut morphology of Marshall Broilers. Completely randomised design was used for the study consisting six diets. Diet 1 was the control diet without enzyme, Diet 2; control diet with 0.1% Maxigrain inclusion, Diet 3; 5% energy reduction without enzynne, Diet 4; 5% energy reduction with 0.1% Maxigrain, Diet 5; 5% protein reduction without enzyme and Diet 6; 5% protein reduction with 0.1% Maxigrain. Diets were replicated four times with each replicate having 6 birds. Completely radomised design was used while the level of significance employed was p<0.05 Results indicates that carcass characteristics observed show that only drumsticks were significantly influenced by enzyme supplementation (p<0.05). Gizzard, (3.80g) spleen (0.20g) and abdominal fat (1.60g) were also significantly affected by Maxigrain supplementation. Values obtained for gut morphological assessment of the ileum and jejunum showed significant improvements (P<0.05) in the crypt depth, 130.30pm, 136.26pm villus height 111 1.80pm, 1426.90pm and villus to crypt ratio 12.82, 13.35 respectively, as a result of Maxigrain supplementation.

Effect of enzyme supplemented cassava root sieviate on egg quality gut morphology and performance of egg type chickens.
(Asian Network and Scientific Information, 2006) Aderemi, F. A; Lawal, O.M; Ladokun, O. A.; Adeyemo, G.O
Enzymic supplementation of cassava root sieviate (CRS) in cassava-based diet was investigated in layers. One hundred and twenty birds of Nera strain at 22 weeks old were divided into twelve groups and randomly assigned to the four groups of diets. It lasted for 84 days at the teaching and research farm of the university of Ibadan Nigeria. Results of control avizyme and dried pure yeast (DPY) supplemented diet were similar and significantly (P<0.05) higher than unsupplemented cassava diets. Feeds intake revealed that layers fed cassava-based diet had lower consumption when compared to those fed control. Fed conversion however showed that those layers on DPY supplemented diets were significantly (P<0.05) better than others. Final body weight of the layers showed that those on control were significantly (P<0.05) heavier than others. The kidney, heart, abdominal fat and oviduct of layers of cassava diet either supplemented or not were significantly (P<0.05) reduced when compared with others on control. The gizzard weight of layers fed unsupplemented and supplemented was also significantly (P<0.05) increased. No mortality was recorded during the feeding trial. Considering egg production layers on control performed better than others, economically DPY diet ranked second to control.
The effect of graded levels of dietary methionine on the haematology and serum biochemistry of broilers.
(Asian Network and Scientific Information, 2000) Adeyemo, G.O; Ologboho, A.D; Adebiyi, O.A.
Graded levels of dietary methionine on the haematology and serum biochemistry were investigated in broilers. One hundred and fifty broiler chicks (Arbor acre breed) were use, the chicks were divided into 5 treatments consisting of 6 replicates of five chicks each. The chicks were kept in floor pens. The study lasted for 56 days at the teaching and research farm of the university of Ibadan Nigeria. No significant differences (p> 0.05) were observed in the PCV, RBC and WBC values of broilers fed the different levels of methionine inclusion, at the finisher phase, but starter phase significant differences (p<0.05) were observed, with the WBC values increasing as the inclusion rate of methionine increased. Total protein value of 4.80g/100ml and 4.48g/100ml were obtained for treatments 4a and 5 respectively which were not significantly (p>0.05) from each other. There were wide variations in the glucose concentration of the birds, the highest glucose concentration was observed with birds on diet 2 9220.90) while the least was observed for birds fed the control diet though significant differences (p<0.05) were observed it did not follow a particular order.
The effect of varied dietary crude protein levels with balanced amino acids on performance and egg quality characteristics of layers at first laying phase
(Scientific Research, 2012) Adeyemo, G.O; Abioye, S. A; Aderemi, F.A.
"Four diets were formulated to study the influence of varying crude protein levels on the performance, egg quality, serum and haematological characteristics at the first phase of laying cycle of sixty Bovan Nera laying birds that were randomly allotted to dietary treatments. The four experimental diets had five replicates each and three birds per replicate. Diet 1 contained 14% crude protein (CP), while diet 2 contained 15% CP, diets 3 and 4 contained 16% and 17% CP respectively. The experimental birds were fed for 10 weeks and the data collected were statistically analysed. Apparent variations recorded for all the performance characteristics such as Egg number, Hen-day production, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and weight gain were significantly different (p < 0.05). The best FCR value were recorded by birds fed 17% CP (3.45), while the highest weight gain mean value were also recorded by birds fed 17% CP value. Findings indicated a direct relationship between dietary crude protein values and performance. "
