Description
Background:One of the major constraints of intensive peri-urban poultry farming in Burkina Faso is the loss of production and mortality of broilers, frequently linked to problems of nutritional feed quality. The aim of the present study was to characterize the quality of feed produced for broiler rearing in the peri-urban zone of the city of Ouagadougou.
Methods: In fact, a survey was carried out among the main feed manufacturers in order to inventory the different types of feed produced, and to take samples of these products for laboratory analysis. A total of 83 feed samples were collected and analyzed using standard methods to determine their bromatological and mineral compositions.
Conclusion:These various results could be used as a referential for the animal feed industry and Burkinabe government officials responsible for monitoring and inspecting feed to ensure it meets nutritional and health standards.
