Cassava as a surrogate for corn – how high can we go in broiler diets?

Feed cost
energy cost protein cost residual•Feed is 65 to 70%
of expenditure
•Driven by energy
and protein
•Corn preferred for
human
consumption and
ethanol industry.
•Wheat or barleydiets suffer reduced

lowering BW

Structure of feed cost in broiler feeding
• Can we progress from energy grains?

Major cassava feed ingredients
WHOLE ROOTS
• Normally fed to cattle and pigs, either raw or boiled. However, fresh tubers may cause cyanide toxicity, depending on the cyanide content in the tubers. For use in poultry, the moisture level is the key.
CHIPS
• Chopped and sun-dried cassava for application in alcohol and animal feed production. Extensively produced in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Nigeria. The fresh roots are machine sliced into small pieces and sun-dried for 2-3 days. Export specifications are 65% (minimum) starch, 5% (maximum) fibre, 3% (maximum) soil & silica contaminants and moisture ≤14%.
PELLETS
• Are obtained from dried cassava chips passed through pellet machines. Cassava pellets enhance animal performance, reduce pollution, are less bulky, and so transportation cost is lower.
MEAL
• is the powdered residue of chips and roots from extraction of edible starch. Thus quality is inferior and has lower starch content. In Africa, cassava meal is produced from the whole root, which may be peeled or unpeeled. This meal is higher in starch compared to meals produced in Asia where cassava is mainly used for starch production.

Liver mitochondrial rhodanase is
able to detoxify HCN to SCN using
sulfhydryl group (SH) sulphur (from
methionine/cysteine). Arising
thiocyanate is then excreted
through the urine.
Methionine is involved in
detoxification primarily because its
SH possesses affinity for charged
toxicants.
Illustration of the hypothesis that free methionine may lessen the toxicity of high cassava diets, to upgrade the nutritive value of cassava to that of corn

RESULTS

BW gain in 28 d broilers fed incremental levels of cassava chips at varying dosages of free methionine
The effects of CC, methionine and their interaction were highly significant (P < 0.001). unsupplementedCC was similar between 25 to 100 % of corn replacement (P >0.05).1 or 2 kg DL-Met restored BW gain back to that of all corn basal diet.

Reported cassava studies in broilers
Investigators Cassava Type Age Concluded replacement value for corn
Panigrahi et al. (1992) root meal
• cassava root meal with a total cyanide
content less than 40 mg/kg, can be fed to broiler chicks at 500 g/kg without
any adverse effects
Panigrahi (1996)• low-cyanide cassava root meals may be incorporated in nutritionally-
balanced poultry diets between 500 and 600 g/kg without any reduction in
weight gain or egg production.
Panigrahi (1996) • Cyanide content at 100 mg/kg diet adversely affects broiler performance,
while threshold level in laying hens is as low as 25 mg total cyanide/kg diet.
Carrijo et al. (2010) root meal 1 – 84 d• 45% inclusion will not reduce performance, carcass and cuts
• Cassava was also beneficial to abdominal fat accretion
Boonsinchaia et al. (2016) pellets 1 – 42 d
cassava could substitute corn at the level of 50% without impairing any
variables. The diets they used contained 22 % CP diets, iso energetic
Lys, Met, Thr & Trp balancing
Brum et al. (1990) Root meal • up to 660 g/kg cassava meal can be used without compromising growth
Bhuiyan and Iji (2015)It is possible to close to 50% of the diet using supplementation of enzyme
products containing carbohydrases, protease, and phytase
24 24
Conclusions – unsupplemented cassava cannot fully replace corn
under the study conditions.
– free methionine is efficacious to upgrade cassava fully to the nutritive status of corn under the study conditions.
– A value of 1 g/kg DL-Met was determined as optimum in this research
– Further studies are needed to clarify why the efficacy of a 2 g/kg DL-Met faded at cassava level beyond 50% of the corn inclusion level
