Abstract

This experiment was carried out at the poultry research farm belonging to Faculty of Agriculture Science, Sulaimani University Bakrajo during the period from 24/10/2014 to 10/12/2014. This experiment was designed to study the effect of feeding different levels of mung beans (Vignaradiata) on the broiler performance. A total of 99 one-day old broiler chicks (ross 308) were randomly divided in to three experimental treatments with 3 replicates, each replicate contains 11 birds reared on floor cages. The first group was considered as (control) while the second group fed on diet, had 5% mung bean and the third group, received diet contain 10% mung bean. The effects of feeding mung beans at various two levels on the performance of young broiler chicks, for both trials there was no significant effect (P≥0.05) of diet contain mung beans on weight gain or feed conversion of broilers.

INTRODUCTION

 

Increase awareness of consumers to healthy and safe animal products as well as worldwide ban to use antibiotics has made natural feed additives being studied and used. Prebiotic and phytobiotic are several alternatives to in feed antibiotic which have been shown to improve broilers performance and health (Murwani, 2010). Using of grains such as corn, sorghum and mung beans provide not only macro- and micro-nutrients but also other bioactive nutrients such as carotenoids in corn and mung beans and poliphenolic substance in sorghum and mung beans which can improve humoral immune response against vaccination (Awika et al., 2000; Murwani, 2008; Murwani and Murtini, 2009). Coccidiosis is recognized as the protozoal disease that has great economic impact on broiler production. It reduces feed consumption and thereby causes reduction of growth (Vegad, 2004 and Frolich et al., 2013). The relationship between diet composition and coccidiosis has been investigated and it has been proved that the dietary levels of various nutrients influence coccidial infection in poultry (Allen et al., 1998 and Singh et al., 2013b). Sprouted mung beans are rich in digestible energy (carbohydrates), bioavailable vitamins (B6 and C), chelated minerals (Ca, Fe, Mg,

P, K, Na, Zn, Cu, Mn, Se etc.), Omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, proteins and beneficial enzymes. Many of these nutrients have well established role as anticoccidials. Due to their nutrient composition, these may be effective in controlling coccidiosis. However, there is scarcity of literature on this aspect.  Mung bean hull is the seed coat covering the mung bean and it is abundantly available in Vietnam. Mung bean hull is characterized by a moderate level of crude protein (12%) and crude fiber (19%) which makes it suitable for inclusion in diets in pre-laying and laying hen. Moreover, the fiber content in Mung bean hull could reduce cholesterol in egg yolk, liver and plasma  of laying hen (McNaughton 1978).

 

The objective of this study was the effect of mung bean inclusion in broiler diets on improvement of feat conversion, healthcare and growth of birds and reduce the incidence of non-microbial diseases and to investigate the of feat of adding mung beans to broiler diets on growth performance.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS

 

The experimental was carried out at the poultry research farm belonging to Faculty of Agriculture Science, Sulaimani University in Bakrajo during the period from 24 /10/2104 to 5/12/2014. This experiment was designed to study the effect of feeding different levels of mung beans (Vignaradiata) on broiler performance. A total of 99 one-day old broiler (Ross 308) chicks were randomly divided in three experimental treatments with 3 replicates, each replicate contains 11 birds reared on floor cages.

1 - First treatment assigned as the control to which the other treated groups were compared.

2 - Chicks in the Second group fed on diet contain 5% crudemung bean. 

3 - Birds in third treatment fed ad_ libitum on diets contain 10% crudemung beans.

 

Birds fed on the two types of diets for each transaction as shown in table (1).

Tested parameters: Live body weight and weight of individual chick were weighed with sensitive scale. Weight gain was calculated by subtracting the weight of the initial weight from the final weight for the following week as shown in the following.

 

weight gain = final weight - initial weight. Feed Intake was calculated for each diet consumer repeater week, as shown in the following equation:

 

Average feed consumed (g) = Feed provided at the beginning of the period (g) - feed remaining in the final period (g)/The total number of birds / Repeater (hadme, 1994).

 

Feed conversion ratio was calculated by the following equation: Food conversion factor = The average amount of diet consumed during the experimental period (g)/ weight gain (g).

 

Production Index was calculated by the following equation:

Production index = mean of weight×availability \ day × feed efficiency×100

 

Specific Carcass Characteristics

The slaughter process has been manually andcut carcass into parts separately and follow the same method for each carcass.

Six randomly selected birds aged 35 and 42 days for each treatment were slaughtered. Pre slaughter weighted, weighted of dressing

 

Dressing Percentage =carcass weight/ live weight ×100

The proportion of the main piece of the carcass included a major breast and thigh and heart, liver and gizzard was calculated by the following equation:

 

Percentage of pieces (thigh and breast), (heart, liver and gizzard)= weight of pieces/ carcass weight ×100

 

Percentage of pancreas = weight of pancreas / live weight ×100

 

Statistical analysis

Statistical analysis was performed for the first experimental data and implemented in accordance with the design of random full (CRD).

 

To study the treatment using the statistical program ready computer-XL stat, version 7.5 (2004) and depending on the mathematical model of the following

Yij = µ +TI+ eij

 

Differences among treatments were tested using Duncan,s multiple range test (1955).

 

RESULTS

 

Effects of feeding mung beans at various levels on the performance of young broiler chickens are shown in Tables 2,3,4,5 and 6. For both trials there was no significant effect (P>.05) of diet on weight gain or feed conversion of broiler.

DISCUSSION

 

The present results cleared evidence that mung beans, when properly supplemented, will support good growth in broiler chickens at levels up to 40% of the diet. Raw mung beans do not appear to contain anti nutritional factors such as those found in soybean (Almquist and Merritt, 1952), field or red beans (Kienholz et al., 1962), and lima beans (Rockland and Metzler, 1967). Similar results were obtained by creswell (1980) who found that feeding mung beans had no significant effect on broiler performance.

 

The effectiveness of these dietary treatments might be due to either changes in gut flora, reduced trypsin activity in the small intestine, antioxidant, membrane stabilizing and/or immunomodulating properties. However, further research is needed to know the exact factor responsible for anticoccidial effect of sprouted mung (Singh, 2013a).

 

CONCLUSION

 

Add the seeds mung beans raw did not show any significant differences in the productive performance of broiler chickens, but did not adversely affect the productive performance
