Influence of different combination of sesame and rice bran oil on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicken

Abstract

This experiment was done to examine the influence of rice bran oil and sesame oil on growth ,performance and carcass characteristic of broiler chicken. Rice bran and sesame oil are good sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids while Palm oil is enriched in saturated fatty acid. Using rice bran and sesame oil in poultry rations would subsequently affect human health in a positive manner by increasing oleic and linoleic acid contents. It helps to benefit chicken health by acting as an anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antiproliferative, and lipid-lowering agent. In this study 100 day old chicks were divided into 5 treatments(T1,T2,T3,T4,T5).Each treatment had three replicates having 7 chicks.T1 was the control group. Birds in the control group were (T1) fed 4% palm oil with basal diet. While the other 4 treatment groups received different combination of feed and they are-T2 (Basal diet +PO 2% + SO 2%),T3(Basal diet+PO2%+RBO2%),T4(SO2%+RBO2%),T5(PO2%+RBO1%+SO1%). The growth performance of the broiler chickens was evaluated by measuring parameters such as body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. Carcass characteristics, including dressing percentage, breast meat yield, thigh meat yield, and abdominal fat content, were also assessed. The results of the study showed that the inclusion of rice bran and sesame oil in the diets of broiler chickens had a positive effect on their growth performance. Chickens fed diets supplemented with rice bran and sesame oil had higher body weight and better feed conversion ratios compared to the control group. Furthermore, the carcass characteristics of the broiler chickens were also improved by the addition of rice bran and sesame oil to their diets. Chickens fed diets supplemented with rice bran and sesame oil had higher dressing percentages, increased breast meat yield, and reduced abdominal fat content compared to the control group. Overall, these findings suggest that incorporating rice bran and sesame oil into the diets of broiler chickens can enhance their growth performance and improve their carcass characteristics. This has significant implications for the poultry industry in Bangladesh, as it can lead to the production of healthier and more nutritious broiler meat for consumers.
