Performance of Broiler Using Plantain, Bio-Sel-E and Commercial Diet

An experiment was conducted to determine the impact of plantain, Bio-Sel-E and commercial broiler diet on the growth performance, feed conversion ratio, performance index and carcass yield of broiler. The highest (P<0.05) body weight gain was attained in bio-sel-e-diet among the four groups. feed conversion ratios of plantain, bio-sel-e, and commercial broiler diet were lower (p<0.05) than the control. the significantly similar performance index was found in plantain, bio-sel-e and commercial broiler diet group, which were significantly (p<0.01) higher than control. the dressing yield of plantain and commercial broiler diet were higher (p<0.05) than control and bio-sel-e diet group. the abdominal fat content of plantain and bio-sel-e diet were lower (p<0.05) than those of control and commercial broiler diet. it could be concluded that the supplementation of 0.5% plantain in the diet had positive effect on growth, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, performance index and carcass characteristics of broilers almost similar of bio-sel-e and commercial broiler diet.
