An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance and economics of broiler chickens production fed diets containing differently processed full fat soy bean. Five diets were formulated in which differently processed full fat soy bean containing sprouted, salt treated, cooked and roasted with raw soy bean as control. Two hundred and fifty (250) Anak 2000 broiler chicks were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments replicated five times in a randomized completely block design. Results showed that daily feed intake, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio and feed efficiency ratio were significantly (p<0.05) affected by the different processing methods at starter, finisher and overall phases by the different processing methods. The feed cost (N/kg gain) was lower in cooked soy bean (N66.08) and highest in salt treated soy bean (N 83.56). It can be concluded that cooked soy bean was more efficient in enhancing growth performance of broiler chickens with concomitant reduction in feed cost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
