Résumé

A total of one hundred and twenty guinea fowl keets were used in the experiment. The birds were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups. Boiled Senna occidentalis meal (MSOM) was included at 0.0%, 6.5%, 13.0% and 19.5% and designated as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in all the parameters measured, which included feed intake, final weight, FCR, water intake, protein efficiency ratio, energy efficiency ratio and feed cost/weight gain. Although the cost of feed/kilogram tends to decrease as the inclusion level of MSOM increases this does not translate into higher weight gain but rather the feed cost/body gain tends to increase, from the result of the experiment, boiled Senna occidentalis meal tends not to have positive effect on the growth performance of guinea fowl keets.
