It is a good study but anticipated effects and interactions sorghum inclusion and tannin levels in diets were not considered. Serine protease act and improve digestibility of kafirin in sorghum-based diets. However, there is a positive correlation between kafirin and tannin content in grain sorghum. Therefore, it was quite important to consider not only levels of sorghum but also tannin levels. Th ...

I can't find any data for FCE, which is also very relevant . Normally FCE and LW data are presented together

An excellent information and research done with herbal . There are so many herbals like Cassava leaves with high protein . By using western medicines there are side effects both for Bird And Consumers with drug residues .Natural herbals are to be experimented like the above Moringa leaves and to be dedicated to people .
Immune system will not be disturbed by herbals .

This is an interesting piece of work with interesting results. I have two questions/suggestions, however:1. Commercial broiler farmers are more appreciative of the cost/benefit analysis but this research completely ignores parameters like growth rate and final body weight2. How was lycopene added to the diets?

Gac is grown in Vietnam (gac fruit: Momordica cochinchinensis). Lycopene is abundant in gac, lycopene content in gac is 2-3 times higher than that of tomatoes. However, I do not know how one can separate lycopene from gac and refine it into a feed additive to supplement in the chicken diets.
