Article Synopsis
- The study explored the effects of Jatropha curcas kernel meal on broiler chicks' growth, using a 7-day feeding trial with 20-day-old Ross 308 strain chicks.
- The Jatropha kernel meal was treated through defatting, heating, fermentation, and drying, replacing one third of a groundnut meal in a commercial diet designed to have similar nutritional values.
- Results showed the treated chicks had slightly higher weight gain and live weight compared to the control group, with all animals surviving the trial and similar feed intake and conversion rates for both groups.
