Gut Characteristics of Broiler Chickens Fed Dietary Levels of White Sorghum as Replacement for Maize with Full Fat Soya Bean

Abstract

An experiment was conducted study the guts characteristics of broiler chickens fed dietary levels ofwhite sorghum as replacement for maize. Kaura sorghum replaced maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 % in diets 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Two hundred and forty broiler chicks were randomly allotted to five diets with four replicates in a completely randomized design. Forty birds were slaughtered for   guts analysis. Results indicated significant (P<0.001) difference on most of the gut parameters. It was concluded that white sorghum can completely replace maize in broiler chickens diets without any negative effect on carcass yield and organ characteristics.
