“…The result partially disagrees with the findings of Moghaddam et al [7], who stated that dietary SFM level (7%, 14%, and 21%) did not affect the VW, VH, CD, and VH:CD of the ileum, but these parameters in the duodenum and jejunum were affected linearly or quadratically by dietary SFM levels in broilers. In addition, Oliveira et al [33] noted that the villus height and crypt depth of the ileum were significantly reduced by the increased SFM level (from 4% to 16%) in the diet.…”

“…Similar results have also been reported by Araujo et al [14] and Horvatovic et al [15] in broilers. However, Moghaddam et al [7] stated that dietary SFM levels in broilers affected the relative thigh, liver and gizzard weights, but did not affect the relative breast weight. Alagawany et al [19] noted that the carcass traits of broilers was not affected by dietary SFM levels except for the relative heart weight, which was decreased with dietary SFM supplementation.…”

“…In addition, the thinning of the TMT may be due to the thinning of the mucosa structure, which is an indicator of intestine health, but this should be examined by further studies. Furthermore, the energy and protein required for intestinal maintenance are higher than other organs and tissues, and this amount can reach 12% of total nutrient consumption in fast-growing broilers [7,35]. The negative effect of dietary SFM on performance may be due to the diminishing of nutrients absorption and needing more nutrients for the regeneration of intestinal tissue by its negative effects on gut health.…”

“…While some researches indicated that SFM can be used up to 15% in broiler diets without negatively affecting performance [7,8], some studies reported that it can be used at higher levels [9,10], especially with the addition of enzymes [11]. On the contrary, there were studies reported that the use of 10% and more SFM in broiler diets negatively affected the growth performance [12][13][14][15].…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary sunflower meal (SFM) and multi-enzyme levels on performance, carcass traits, intestinal histomorphology and pancreatic enzyme production in quails. Three hundred and twenty, 1-day-old quail chicks were divided into 8 groups with 4 replicates consisting of 10 birds each in the group. The experiment was randomized design consisting of a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement, with four levels of SFM (0%, 10%, 15%, or 20%) and two levels of multi-enzyme (0.0 or 1.0 g/kg) inclusion in the diet. The body weight, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio were negatively influenced by the 15% and 20% SFM (p < 0.01) but were not affected by the 10% SFM for 6 week age. The relative gizzard (p < 0.05) weights significantly increased with 20% SFM, but the relative breast weight decreased (p < 0.01). The relative liver weight increased by the addition of enzymes in the diet (p < 0.05). The villus width (p < 0.01) and villus surface area (p < 0.05) of ileum increased linearly with SFM, whereas the villus height (p < 0.01), villus height: crypt depth (p < 0.01) and tunica muscularis thickness (p < 0.01) decreased linearly with SFM. Consequently, it is possible to say that the birds with the least absorptive same weight are the most efficient. The addition of multi-enzyme increased villus height and crypt depth but decreased tunica muscularis thickness of ileum (p < 0.01). Chymotrypsin activity in the pancreas decreased linearly with SFM (p < 0.01). Amylase activity in the pancreas decreased significantly with the addition of the multi-enzyme (p < 0.05). As a result of the study, SFM can be used at a 10% level in growing quail diets with beneficial effects on the absorption surface area. The effects of enzyme supplementation on parameters measured were less pronounced than the SFM inclusion level that higher villus height and lower tunica muscularis thickness were determined in multi-enzyme-fed birds compared to those untreated counterparts.

“…The values AMEn of the diets and SFM were decreased with increasing inclusion level of SFM from 0 to 270 g/ kg in broiler diets. Also, in this trend, the dietary AME n amounts were regressed against the incorporated levels of SFM by using linear and quadratic models (Nassiri et al, 2012).…”

| The benificial application of untraditional feedstuffs such as sunflower meal (SFM) in animal and poultry nutrition in developing countries has received considerable attention. SFM is a by-product of sunflower oil industry, and has been increasingly added to animal and birds diets. Moreover, SFM is potentially one of the most important protein source in the world. Nowadays, it is well known that feed represents the main cost of animal and poultry production and accounts about 75% of the total cost. The increasing feed ingredients price of poultry nutrition caused to look closely at agricultural by-products which are less cost than traditional ingredients. Thus, the waste residues of crops, vegetables and fruits after harvesting and processing could be used as sources of protein, energy and other nutrients in feeding animals and poultry. Reports from variuos laboratories on the using SFM as feed ingredient for poultry are discussed in this review. Based on the findings presented, SFM is an acceptable feed componentof poultry rations and can be fed at 25% in broiler and 20% in layer diets. However, replacement of soybean meal (SBM) with SFM may affect dietary inclusions of essential amino acids, and use of synthetic lysine may need to be increased. The high levels of SFM in poultry diets can be used successfully with appropriate diet formulation adjustments for energy and amino acids particularly lysine and methionine. This compilation with its valubale information would be beneficial for researchers, chemists, feed and food industry, and certainly could help to promote the usage of SFM in poultry production.
