LE SOJA DANS L'ALIMENTATION DU POULET DE CHAIR Aspects ...

SUMMARY
The soybean oil cake which can represent up to 35% of the feed ration of broiler
chicken has an important role as the first source of proteins for this last one. Its incorporation
rate in the feed ration is the most important element in the balance between the energy and the
protein inputs.
In this experimentation, effects of its incorporation rate variations in the start and
growth feed have been tested on the zootechnical performances and biochemical parameters
of broiler chickens.
Results have shown that the start and growth feed supplementation by 5% of soybean
cake allows a better slaughter weight and a much better economic output represented by a
lower consumption index and production cost.
But this supplementation can not correct the imbalance between the energy and the
protein inputs which can be realized by incorporation of other sources of energy (as hard
wheat or barley) to the broiler chicken feed ration.
