Abstract

An experiment was conduct to evaluate the effects of soybean hulls (SH) as a dietary fiber source in broiler chicks diets on performance and economic efficiency. Experiment was performed in completely randomized designed with 4 different levels of SH (0% (control), 1.50% (T1), 3.00% (T2) and 4.50% (T3) in the diets fed to 120 chicks of Indian Rivers. Each treatment had 3 replicates of 10 birds, measurements are live body weight (LBW), body weight gain (BWG), feed consumption (FC), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and Relative economic efficacy (REE).  Rustles in this experiment showed that the inclusion of 1.50% SH as a dietary fiber source in broiler diets improved LBW, BWG, and FCR compared to other treatments (control , T2and T3), also, chicks were fed on SH 1.50% diets showed the highest figures of performance index (PI), European performance efficiency factor (EPEF) and REE. In conclusion, it is suggested based on economical profitability using SH up to 1.50% broiler diets during starter and grower periods.
