| Summary: | Use of peanuts for broiler chickens in Senegal. Rates from 0 to 20 % of groundnuts were incorporated in mash for broiler chickens in five experiments. Above the rate of 10 %, drop in liveweigth performances and a clear decrease in food consumption were observed with an increase of feed conversion efficiency as a consequence. The growth decrease was without any doubt due to the presence of Aspergillus flavus aflatoxins. Technical performances are also lower in rainy season which is less favourable to chicken growth with regard to the dry season. Practically, rates from 0 to 10 % should be choosen according to the opportunity cost of groundnuts, their quality and the season during which broiler chickens are produced. |
