| Abstract | ||
| This experiment aimed to study the effects of partial and complete replacement of animal protein concentrate by locally produced plant protein concentrate (sunflower meal supplemented with amino acids, vitamines and minerals) on the performance traits of Fawbro (CD) broiler chickens. Five treatments were used included, 1-control (T0)=100% animal protein concentrate + 0.0% plant protein concentrate, 2-T1- 75% animal protein concentrate + 25% plant protein concentrate, 3-T2 = 50% animal protein concentrat+50% plant protein concentrate, 4-T3= 25% animal protein concentrate + 75% plant protein concentrate and 5-T4= 0.0 % animal protein concentrate+100% plant protein concentrate with similar levels of total protein and energy in all treatments. Data were collected for live body weight, weight gain, feed consumption and feed efficiency from 2-8 weeks of age, and for slaughter weight, dressing percentage, main carcass cuts and the total count of intestinal bacterial content at 8 weeks. Results indicated that no significant differences between treatments in live body weight and weight gain during the first 2-6 weeks of age. However the differences became significant for the live weight at 8 weeks of age and for the weight gain during the period 6-8 weeks, as well as for the accumulative period 2-8 weeks for the above mentioned traits. T4 gave the highest live body weight (2362.6 g/bird)at 8weeks of age. | ||
