Abstract

A study was carried out to investigate the possibility of replacing soya bean meal (SBM) with soya bean residue (SBR) in the diets of broiler chickens. A total of one hundred and fifty (150) chicks aged 28 days were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% soya bean residue replacing soya bean meal. Each treatment was replicated thrice. Mean daily feed intake of 107.8 g was recorded in 100% SBR replacement while 102.2 g was recorded in 25% level of replacement. However, there was no significant (P>0.05) difference among all other performance parameters. The carcass characteristics and organ weights revealed no significant (P>0.05) difference among treatment groups for all the components except the wings, thighs, back, abdominal fats, intestine and proventriculus. Slaughter weight and dressing percentage were similar at 25 and 50% replacement level (1406.70g/71.91% and 1373.30g/69.84%, respectively) compared to the control group fed 0% SBR. Therefore, this study concluded that soya bean residue could replace up to 100% of the bean meal with beneficial effects on performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens.
