High cost of these grains in many developing countries necessitates the evaluation of other ingredients that are grown locally. Sweet potato is one such crop. The study was conducted as a proof of concept experiment to test the hypothesis that in the presence and absence of enzyme, sweet potato roots when included in diets of broiler chickens may affect the total metabolisable energy content of the diets which may exert certain influences on dry matter digestibility of these diets as well as impacting on production and certain gut parameters. A total of 120 chicks were raised on a commercial starter feed from day 0 to 19. On day 22, the birds were individually weighed and allocated to 96 single bird metabolism cages to conduct a 7\u2010day classical apparent metabolisable energy (AME) assay. The test diets contained 0% and 25% sweet potato flour (SPF) with and without enzyme supplementation (Rovabio Excel AP T\u2010flex) and replicated 24 times. AME of the control diet with and without enzyme was 14.05 and 13.91\u00a0MJ\/kg whilst the AME of the SPF diets with and without enzymes were 13.45 and 13.43\u00a0MJ\/kg respectively. AME of SPF was 12.08\u00a0MJ\/kg. Birds fed the SPF had significantly reduced end weights (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.002) and weight gains (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) leading to significantly higher intake (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.004) and FCRs (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) in birds. These effects in growth parameters highlight the need to balance dietary protein and total amino acids when using SPF in broiler diets and may not be a negative effect of SPF per say as AME and dry matter digestibility of SPF diets were comparable to the control diet. The level of sucrase activity in the jejunum was significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) lower due to enzyme inclusion. Use of SPF in the current study did not negatively influence the activities of the brush border enzymes maltase and sucrase, gut morphology in the jejunum of broilers or the load of Enterobacteriaceae in the caecal of birds. This finding is promising in that the gut parameters associated with digestive capacity and gut health were not compromised with feeding of SPF to broilers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpn.12730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,12]],"date-time":"2017-06-12T05:03:09Z","timestamp":1497243789000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluation of the effects of sweet potato (<i>Ipomoea batatas<\/i>(L.)
