J.Res. ANGRAU 41(1) 47-50, 2013 UTILIZATION OF POULTRY WASTE AN UN-CONVENTIONAL PROTEIN SOURCE IN SMALL RUMINANT RATIONS J. NARASIMHA, V.CHINNI PREETHAM AND S.T.VIROJI RAO All India Co-ordinated Research Project on poultry breeding, College of Veterinary Science, Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Hyderabad-500030 Date of Receipt : 16.08.2012 Date of Acceptance :13.12.2012 ABSTRACT A complete feed containing poultry litter (35%) and other feed ingredients were formulated and processed in to mash. The feed was tested on six each of Nellore rams and indigenous bucks in a digestion- cum-metabolism trial using a completely randomized design to asses the voluntary feed intake and nutrient utilization. The voluntary feed intake of DM and the intake per kg DMI was significantly (P

Proximate composition of experimental ration and poultry litter (%DM) Proximate principle Experimental ration (%) Poultry litter (%) Dry matter 91.25 93.45 Organic matter 80.00 63.21 Crude protein 12.18 15.70 Ether extract 1.87 0.87 Crude fibre 30.17 15.08 Total ash 20.00 36.78 Acid insoluble ash 6.19 12.39 Nitrogen free extract 35.78 31.57 Calcium 0.89 4.57 Phosphorous 0.76 3.7 on various factors like dry matter, season, climatic condition and type of feed (Taneja, 1969; Mehrothra and Mullick, 1960). There was no significant difference in digestibility co-efficient of Dry matter, Organic matter, (Table 2). Similar findings were reported by (Mallikarjuna, 1989), in sheep and goats fed rations containing cotton straw, maize cobs for dry matter. A non-significant difference in digestibilities for Crude Protein was observed in sheep and goats. Similar results were reported by (Murthy et al., 1996) when fed poultry litter and poultry droppings in the pelleted ration. The lower digestibility of Crude Protein in the present experiment may be due to incorporation of cotton seed hulls at 40 percent level. The cotton seed hulls contained about 31 percent lint, mostly made of cellulose and about 14.3 percent lignin. It is quite likely that proteins in the cotton seed hulls are located in the structural component of cell. Structural protein (Maynard et al., 1981) which may not be available for the microbes to attack due to high lignin content. Further the fineness of cotton seed hulls during processing might have also contributed to lower digestibility due to faster rate of passage through the digestive tract (Keys and Smith., 1984). There was no significant difference in ether extract and crude fibre digestibility in the two species of sheep and goats (Table 2). The findings are in agreement with those of (Sreedhar et al., 1993). The non-significant difference in Nitrogen free extract digestibility between sheep and goats observed in the present study concur with the results of (Murthy et al., 1996) who also reported nonsignificant difference in Nitrogen free extract digestibility between sheep and goats fed poultry litter/poultry droppings based pelleted ration. All experimental animals were in positive N, Ca, and P balances indicating that the experimental feed supplied these nutrients in required quantities to both species. Sheep retained significantly (P>0.01) higher N, Ca and P than goats (Table 2). This could be attributed to higher Dry matter intake in sheep. The ration met Digestible crude protein (DCP) and Total digestible nutrients (TDN) requirements as recommended by ICAR (1985). The results of this study indicate that complete feed containing poultry litter up to 35 percent level could be utilized for feeding of small ruminants. The complete ration formulated in this study met the nutritive requirement of sheep and goats. Further it was observed that poultry litter could be used up to 35 percent level in complete feeds of small ruminant rations as an un- conventional protein source without any adverse effect. 53
