A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of cashew apple in feed on the zootechnical performance of broiler chickens in the finished phase. It involved 180 broiler chicks, of the « HUBBAR » strain, distributed in 12 experimental units according to a completely randomized device comprising 4 treatments and 3 replicates each. It is a control feed (PC0) containing maize as the main source of energy and three experimental feeds containing respectively 15 % (PC15), 30 % (PC30) and 45 % (PC45) respectively of cashew apple. At the end of the finishing phase, it was observed that the growth performances of the animals fed with the feeds PC0, PC15 and PC30 are superior to the weights of those fed with feed PC45 (p <0.05). The feed consumption and feed conversion index are identical for the PC0, PC15 and PC30 treatments. However, they increase with 45 % inclusion. The feeds PC15 and PC30 had the lowest production costs per kilogram of live weight. Concerning the characteristics of the chickens’ carcass, cashew apple powder had no effect on the carcass yields of animals fed the different types of feed (p> 0.05). In the finishing growth phase, a 30 % inclusion rate of the cashew apple powder in the feed produces chicks with comparable zootechnical performance to a ration containing exclusively maize as the main energy source.

Abstract: (french)
Une étude a été réalisée pour évaluer l’effet de la pomme de cajou dans l’aliment sur les performances zootechniques du poulet de chair en phase finition. Elle a porté sur 180 poussins chair, de souche « HUBBAR », répartis dans 12 unités expérimentales suivant un dispositif complètement randomisé comportant 4 traitements et 3 répétitions chacun. Il s’agit d’un aliment témoin (PC0) contenant du maïs comme principale source d’énergie et trois aliments expérimentaux comportant respectivement 15 % (PC15), 30 % (PC30) et 45 % (PC45) de pomme de cajou. A la fin de la phase finition, il a été observé que les performances de croissance des animaux nourris avec les aliments PC0, PC15 et PC30 sont supérieurs aux poids de ceux nourris avec l’aliment PC45 (p < 0,05). La consommation alimentaire et l’indice de consommation sont identiques pour les traitements PC0, PC15 et PC30. Par contre, ils augmentent avec 45 % d’inclusion. Les aliments PC15 et PC30 ont eu les coûts de production du kilogramme de poids vifs les plus bas. Concernant les caractéristiques de la carcasse des poulets, la poudre de pomme de cajou n’a pas eu d’effet sur les rendements carcasses des animaux nourris avec les différents types d’aliment (p > 0,05). En phase finition, un taux d’inclusion de 30 % de la poudre de pomme de cajou dans l’aliment permet de produire des poussins de performances zootechniques comparables à la ration contenant exclusivement du maïs comme principale source d’énergie.
