ABSTRACT

This experiment was aimed to evaluate the effect of broiler chickens fed diets containing pawpaw (carrica papaya) seed oil (PSO) as a feed addictive on Carcass quality and haemato-biochemoical indices of broiler Chickens. A total of 195 day-old Arbor Acre were used, Five experimental diets each were formulated during the starter (1-28days) and finisher (29-58days) phases such that the basal diets were addictive with 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4% PSO respectively. These chicks were randomly allocated to the five dietary treatments comprising of three replicates each in a completely randomized design. At day 58, three (3) birds per treatment were randomly selected for slaughter in order to measure carcass cut-up parts (thigh, breast, neck, wing, back, drumstick and abdominal fat), and selected organs were weighed and expressed relative to live weight. The immunity index was also evaluated. Pack cell volume, red blood cell, haemoglobin, means corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, white blood cell, lymphocytes and monocyte values were significantly (P<0.05) different among the group. There was no particular trend in the mortality pattern across the treatments. In conclusion, it was conclusion, dietary supplementation of PSO up to 0.4ml in the diet of broiler without causing any deleterious effect on their performance and health status.
