Abstract

Apparent metabolizable energy (AME), corrected to zero nitrogen retention (AMEn) is frequently used energy system to estimate energy concentration of an ingredient and diet in poultry. Meanwhile, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) is commonly used to estimate nutrient digestibility values of particular ingredient in poultry like broiler. The nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy, nutrient and dietary fiber digestibilities of banana meal in broilers was determined in this study. Results revealed that peeled banana meal was significantly higher (P<0.05) in terms of AME and AMEn in broiler than unpeeled banana meal with 3,369 and 3058 kcal/kg DM, respectively. But these energy values were less than the yellow dent corn with 3, 606 kcal/kg, DM. On the other hand, % ATTD of DM, GE and crude fiber of diets with banana meal were significantly higher (P<0.01) than corn-soy diet. Specifically, % ATTD of GE of diets with peeled banana meal was significantly higher (P<0.01) than diets with unpeeled banana meal.  In conclusion, banana peeled meal can be used as an alternative feed energy source in broiler.
