Feeding differently processed soya bean Part 1. Effect on performance, protein utilization, relative organ weights, carcass traits and economics of producing broiler-chickens

Abstract

The comparative utilization of differently processed (roasted, cooked and oil cake) soya bean base diets and groundnut cake diet were evaluated in a feeding trial using 100 day-old Anak broiler-chicks. The response criteria included performance, protein utilization, relative organ weights, carcass traits and economy of production.

At the end of the feeding trial, the average weight gains of chicks fed processed soya bean diets were significantly (P cooked > oil cake > raw bean
