| Abstract |
|
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of undecorticated
sunflower seed meal on the performance of broiler. Six experimental
diets were prepared which were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. A total of
432 one day old unsexed Lohman chicks were weighed and allocated to six
treatments having three replicates. Results indicated that incorporation
of sunflower seed meal had no significant (P<0.05) effects on feed
intake, live weight gain, feed conversion ratio, mortality, hot and
chilled dressing percentages. It was concluded that addition of
sunflower up to 15% to replace groundnut cake had no harm or undesired
effects.
