Rhodanese Activity Profile in some Tissues of Developing Domestic Fowl (Gallus domesticus) Fed 200/0 Cassava Supplemented Poultry Feeds

Abstract

Changes in rhodanese activity profile in the liver, ~, heart, brain and gizzard of dl!Yeloplng domestic fOYoll (Gallus. domesticus) fed on commercially prepared normal poultry feeds (cortrol feeds) and pauley feeds corU.Illng 20% sweet cassava (M. escu/enta) roa tuber flour (experimental feeds) were studied. There was no significant difference (P<O.05) in the activity of the enzyme In tissues of domestic fO'Nfsfed the two types of feeds. It c()ljd be possl>le that the cyanogenic gtycosides present in the experimental feeds is not enough to cause any significant increase in the activity of rhodanese in these tissues.
