Research ArticleOpen accessMeta Analysis of Growth Performance of Broilers in Response to Dietary Cassava Leaf Meal InterventionChristian Anayo Mbajiorgu, Ifeanyi Princewill OgbuewuThe use of Cassava Leaf Meal (CLM) in broiler diets has gained attention due to its high crude protein content (24-35%) and other valuable nutrients. Therefore, the objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the impact of diets with and without CLM on broiler growth performance. Search performed on four bibliographic databases produced 584 articles of which 11 were used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2026 · 578 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessHydroponic Fodder in Broiler Nutrition: Effects on Economics of Production, Environmental Impacts, Productive Indices, and Health StatusChristian Anayo Mbajiorgu, Ifeanyichukwu Princewill Ogbuewu, Monnye MabelebeleThe projected global population of 9.7 billion by 2050 will escalate the demand for animal protein, intensifying food insecurity.
