Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of using different types of animal or plant proteins (imported or local) concentrates in broiler diets. A total of 400 day- old broiler chicks of Ross strain (expt. 1) and 400 day-old chicks of Hubbard strain (expt. 2) were used. In the first experiment, chicks were fed four starter and grower diets (treatments) as follow : 10% imported animal protein concentrate (Provimi), 10% local animal protein concentrate (Al-baraka) ,10% imported plant protein concentrate (Preconex) and 10% local plant protein concentrate (Al-Byder). In the second experiment, chicks were also fed four starter and grower diets (treatments) as follow : 10% imported animal protein concentrate (Provimi), 10% local plant protein concentrate (Al- byder), 10 % imported mixed plant and animal protein concentrate (Proto- Max) and 5% imported plant protein concentrate (Koudijs). Results of first experiment showed that chicks fed diets containing plant protein concentrates (imported or local) had significantly ( P< 0.05) better body weight, feed consumption , feed conversion ratio and livability than those fed animal protein concentrates (imported or local) at 49 days of age. Birds fed diets containing plant protein (Koudijs) in the second experiment had significantly better chicks' performance than those fed different types of protein concentrates. Also, results of second experiment reveled that a significant ( P< 0.05) reduction in chicks' performance fed Proto-Max protein concentrate than all other chicks at 49 days of age. It can be concluded that birds fed diets containing plant protein concentrates had better chicks' performance than those fed animal protein concentrates at marketing age.
