Abstract
Reproductive responses of laying birds fed Ipomea purpurea leaf meal (IPML) were investigated. A total of 40, 25-weeks old birds grouped into four treatments of 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% inclusion levels of IPML were used for this experiment in a completely randomized design layout. The birds were artificially inseminated with semen from cockerels on controlled diet thrice in a week. A total of 400 eggs were collected and set in an incubator. There were no significant differences (p> 0.05) in Hen day production, feed/dozen eggs and the egg characteristics investigated. The blood glucose levels significantly decreased (p< 0.05) while level of progesterone significantly increased (p< 0.05) with increase in level of IPLM inclusion. The percentages of fertility and hatchability were high while the survivability was 100%. It can be concluded that IPLM inclusion level of up to 7.50% supports high fertility, hatchability and survivability and could be used in breeder diets for the production of fertile eggs.
