Abstract
Total of two hundred and ten unsexed commercial chicks arboracers were
used in this experiment to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of
sunflower meal (SFM) with and without dietary enzyme on performance of
broiler chicks. Five experimental diets were formulated, each diet was divided
into two, to have ten experiment diets, chicks were divided according to diets
and each treatment was further subdivided into three replicates with 7chicks
per each replicate . in complete randomize design First group fed on negative
control diet (without SFM and enzyme), second group fed on positive diet
(with enzyme), and groups (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th) were fed on diets containing
SFM at 25, 50, 75 and 100%.
Other experimental chicks groups (7th, 8th, 9th and ten) were fed on the same
diets of (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th) groups but supplemented with dietary enzyme
(1g/kg commercial phytase). The experiment was lasted for six weeks. The
measured parameters covered performance (body weight, feed intake, body
weight gain, feed conversion ratio), carcass characteristics, non- carcass
components, serum constituents, serum enzyme activities and economical
attributes. Results obtained revealed that broiler chicks fed on all levels of
SFM with or without enzyme significantly improved chicks performance
although there is no significant difference between groups fed on different
levels of SFM. The inclusion of different levels of SFM with or without
enzyme did not significantly affect on non- carcass components except
gizzard and commercial cuts and their meat values. Inclusion of SFM with
and without enzyme in broiler diets recorded economical benefits. Results
revealed that SFM can substitute vegetable protein sources without any adverse effects.
