The goal of the performed experiments was to recognise the nutritive value of currently
cultivated Polish varieties of yellow lupine and to evaluate possibilities of their application in
broiler chicken nutrition. Four cultivars of yellow lupine (Lord, Parys, Perkoz, Mister) were
analysed. The following parameters were determined: ileal (dry matter, amino acids) (1) and total
tract (dry matter, crude fat) digestibility of nutrients, nitrogen relation and AMEn. The performed
experiments on broiler chickens show an effect of the varieties of yellow lupine cultivars on the
significant differentiation of ileal digestibility of crude protein - from 77.5% (Mister) to 84.3%
(Parys). The examined yellow lupine cultivars were characterised by differing levels of total tract
digestibility: dry matter from 59.8% (Lord) to 64.1% (Parys) and crude fat - from 72.6% (Lord) to
80% (Perkoz) as well as metabolisable energy values - from 8.87 MJ/kg (Lord) to 9.60 MJ/kg
(Parys) in feed as is. Moreover, ileal digestibility of amino acids was also determined in the
analysed yellow lupine cultivars and it was found to range: threonine from 73.4% (Mister) to
81.1% (Parys). The obtained research results indicate that the examined yellow lupine cultivars
were characterized by a high differentials in amino acid and crude protein ileal digestibility,
metabolisable energy.
