Overview

Randomized trial evaluates broiler growth performance with sesame and sunflower meal in diets, suggesting viable alternatives to soybean meal.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess how replacing soybean meal with sesame and sunflower meals affects broiler growth and performance.
  • 960 one-day-old Ross chicks randomly assigned to six dietary treatments: control, 10% sesame, 15% sesame, 10% sunflower, 15% sunflower, and 15% combined meals.
  • All diets were isonitrogenous and isocaloric, with four replicates per treatment.
  • Diets with 10% and 15% sesame meal improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) without affecting body weight or weight gain.
  • Feed consumption was lower in the diets with sesame meal compared to the control.
  • The 15% sunflower meal diet increased body weight (BW), while the combined meal also improved FCR without negative performance impacts.
