Summary

The starchy seeds of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) contain 124 g crude protein and 740 g total carbohydrates per kg. The possible replacement value of jackseed meal (JSM) for maize in chick diets was evaluated in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka between 1986 and 1989. In Expt 1, the inclusion of 125 and 250 g raw JSM/kg diet severely depressed growth performance and increased mortality in chicks. Organ weights, relative to body weight, were also affected in chicks fed on diets containing 250 g raw JSM/kg diet. Subsequent analyses revealed lectins and trypsin inhibitors to be responsible for the toxic effects of raw JSM. Processing of JSM by moist-heat treatment completely destroyed these antinutritional factors. This was demonstrated by the results of Expt 2, where the feeding value of processed JSM was found to be comparable to that of maize up to 250 g/kg diet. Moist-heat treatment also improved the in vitro protein digestibility (56·7 v. 84·2%) and apparent metabolizable energy (8·97 v. 13·72 MJ/kg) values of JSM. In Expt 3, the inclusion of 500 g processed JSM/kg diet resulted in reduced broiler performance and lowered the apparent dry matter digestibility and apparent energy utilization of the diets. The non-starch polysaccharide component of the JSM may have been responsible for these negative effects.
