Effect of using Various Combinations of the Plant Meal as a Source of Vegetable Protein in the Diets of Broiler Chickens in the Productive Performance
Abstract: This study aimed to know the effect of using various combinations of plant meal as a source of vegetable protein in the diets on the productive performance of broilers. A total (150) unsexed broiler chicks (Ross 308) one day old was used in this study. These chicks were randomly distributed to five treatments with 3 replicates each (10 chicks per replicate), The treatments included the use of soybean meal (SBM) as a source of vegetable protein. SBM level in 1st treatment was 24 % in starter diet and 20 % in finisher diet. Its level was 12 % with 12 % of sunflower meal (SFM) in the 2nd treatment in starter diet or 10 % to each of them in finisher diet. Third treatment included 12 % SBM and 12 % sesame meal (SM) of starter diet and 10 % to each of them in finisher diet. Fourth treatment included 12 % from SFM and 12 % SM for starter diet and 10 % to each of them in finisher diet. Fifth treatment contain 8 % from each SBM and SFM and SM for starter diet and 7 % to each of them for finisher diet The results of the statistical analysis of the experiment data showed. Significant superiority ( P
