Abstract

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance and economics of broiler chickens production fed diets containing differently processed full fat soybean. Five diets were formulated in which differently processed full fat soybean containing sprouted, salt treated, cooked and roasted with raw soyabean as control. Two hundred and fifty (250) Anak 2000 broiler chicks were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments replicated five times in a completely randomized block design (CRBD). Results showed that daily feed intake (49.51-67.23g), daily weight gain (21.79-33.44g), feed conversion ratio (1.66-2.67), feed efficiency ratio (0.37-0.63g) and survivability (94.00-100% were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the different processing methods. It can be concluded that cooked soybean was more efficient in enhancing growth performance of broiler chicks.
