Abstract
This article is a contribution to increasing the profitability of broiler breeders in Kasaï in general and in Mbujimayi in particular, by developing a feed that would cost less compared to imported commercial feed. And to consider the possibility of replacing conventional protein ingredients with Vigna sinensis and QPM maize in the broiler ration. It appears that after 42 days of observation, the commercial food (R0) was better in terms of average live weight, i.e. 2,168 grams, while the food based on corn QPM + Vigna sinensi comes second position with 1,940.7 grams. The trend was further confirmed with regard to the quantity of feed consumed per chicken, the weekly weight gain, the consumption index, the weekly cost of feed. However, it was found that the commercial feed is expensive (18,995.49 FC) and provides a low profit (7,702.98 FC) compared to the feed based on QPM maize + Vigna sinensi whose total cost was evaluated. To 14,340.48 FC and having procured a profit equivalent to 8,997.92 FC. The substitution of Vigna sinensis as a protein ingredient can thus become a basic ingredient in the formulation of Cobb 500 broiler feed to replace the commercial feed which is imported into Zambia and whose price on the market is increasing. For poultry farmers, QPM maize and Vigna sinensis will be a way out to solve food problems in terms of quantity and quality.

Abstract: (french)
Cet article est une contribution à l’augmentation de la rentabilité des éleveurs des poulets de chair au Kasaï en générale et à Mbujimayi en particulier, par une mise au point d’un aliment qui coûterait moins cher par rapport aux aliments commerciaux importé. Et aussi d’envisager la possibilité de substituer les ingrédients protéiques conventionnels par Vigna sinensis et maïs QPM dans la ration des poulets de chair. Il ressort qu’après 42 jours d’observation, l’aliment commercial (R0) s’est montré meilleur en termes de poids vifs moyen soit 2 168 gramme alors que l’aliment à base du maïs QPM + du Vigna sinensi vient en deuxième position avec 1 940.7 gramme. La tendance s’est encore confirmée quant à la quantité d’aliment consommée par poulet, au gain de poids hebdomadaire à l’indice de consommation, au coût hebdomadaire d’aliment. Cependant, il a été constaté que l’aliment commercial coûte cher (18 995,49Fc) et procure un profit faible (7 702.98FC) comparativement à l’aliment à base du maïs QPM + du Vigna sinensi dont le coût total a été évalué à 14 340.48 FC et ayant procuré un profit équivalent à 8 997.92 FC. La substitution de Vigna sinensis comme ingrédient protéique peut ainsi devenir un ingrédient de base dans la formulation d’aliments pour poulet de chair Cobb 500 en remplacement de l’aliment commercial qui est importé en Zambie et dont le prix sur le marché est croissant. Pour les aviculteurs, le maïs QPM et Vigna sinensis constituera une porte de sortie pour résoudre les problèmes alimentaires en quantité et qualité.
