Extract

Soyabean meal (SBM) is used extensively in poultry rations. As the cultivation of soya bean is limited in Iran, annually a large amounts of SBM is imported. In recent years cultivation of some oil seed such as sunflower seed (Heliantus annus) is undertaken in some provinces of Iran. This plant will grow in cooler and dried climates than the soya bean or cotton plants. It contains 45 percent oil and a good source of protein and B-group vitamins. Due to high fibre content and low lysine content, use of sunflower meal (SSM) is limited in poultry feeds, but dehulled SSM is suitable for broiler feeds (Church, 1988 and Scott et al., 1982). The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of SSM on performance of broiler chicken.
