Short communication : effect of seasonal phase-feeding with plant protein on broiler production

Abstract EN

The result obtained in this study assures that, broilers can produce on pure plant protein sources enriched with vitamins and amino acids and there was no significant performance differences (P<0.05) in such broilers raised in summer or winter seasons.

The average weight gain recorded in summer study.

Was 2396gm while that recorded for winter study was 240 gm.

The feed consumption was 5014 and 4993gm for summer and winter studies respectively.

The F.C.R.

for the two seasons was about 2.
