Full TextAbstract
Using agricultural waste such as citrus pulp in poultry nutrition is an interesting way to reduce feed cost and environment pollution. A total of 120 one day old broiler chicks (Ross 308 strain) were used in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments, 4 replicates and 10 birds in each replicate. Main ingredients of the diets were corn and soybean meal. Three levels of citrus pulp (0, 3% and 6%) were used in experimental diets. There were no difference between birds feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio at 42 days of rearing period. Citrus pulp at 6% level reduced cholesterol of the birds blood plasma (P<0.05).
