| Abstract | ||
| The experiment was carried out in the poultry farm of the Animal Resources Dept., College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, from 1/9/2001 to 15/11/2001. A total of 300 unsexed one – day old Fawbro broiler’s chicks were reared together for the first two weeks of age. At the age of 15 days they were allocated to five treatments in three replicates of 20 chicks each, the treatments were: T1 (control) contained 100 % soybean meal. T2 partial replacement of raw broad beans (50% of the protein that supplied by soybean meal). T3 partial replacement of germinated broad beans (50% of the protein that supplied by soybean meal). T4 complete replacement of raw broad beans (100% of the protein that supplied by soybean meal).T5 complete replacement of germinated broad beans (100% of the protein that supplied by soybean meal). Results showed that no significant differences in live body weight at 4 and 8 weeks of age , but significantly decreased (p0.05) in live body weight (1187.53 g.) of birds in T4 at the age of 6 weeks . No significant differences in feed intake during the period 2 – 4 weeks of age , however the differences became significant during the periods 2–6 weeks and 2-8 weeks of age. No significant effect in feed conversion ratio between the different groups. No significant difference in the percentage of giblets weight, intestinal length, carcass weight, dressing percentage and abdominal fat percentage. However highly significant differences in the cut-up parts of carcass were found among the different treatments groups . It can be included that an possibility of partially and/or completely replacement of germinated broad bean for soybean meal in broiler diets . | ||
