Replacement of Some Plant Protein Sources by Sunflower Cake with or Without Enzyme in Broiler Rations

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.
