Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of soya bean meal on broiler performance, some hematological and physiological parameters, using 96 one day old broiler chicks in a completely randomized design with four replicates (24 chicks/ treatment). Four experimental diets were formulated to meet nutrient requirements of the broilers chicks which included different levels of soya bean meal as follow: 0, 1, 3, and 5%. Results showed that significant (p<0.05) improvement of live body weight (kg) was noted in group fed 5% soya bean meal. Body weight gain (kg) increased significantly (P<0.05) in group fed 0% soya bean meal compared to treated groups. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) significantly (P<0.05) improved for group fed 1% soya bean meal. Feed intake was significantly (p<0.05) increased for group fed 3% soya bean meal. RBC, Hemoglobin, MCHC and WBC values were higher for birds received 3% soya bean meal. PCV value was higher for birds received 1% soya bean meal. MCV value was higher for birds received 0% soya bean meal. MCH value was higher for birds received 5% soya bean meal. No significant (P>0.05) differences observed for carcass components. Inclusion of soya bean meal in the diet improves growth performance, blood parameters and serum metabolism.
