Determination of optimum blood meal level for performance of broilers under Sudan condition

Different unconventional feed stuffs are used in poultry production to decrease ration cost and the environmental, nutritional economic benefits derived from maximal utilization of animal blood. This study was established assess effect partially replaced dried blood content supplemented on growth performance responses carcass. In a feeding trial, 240 commercial broiler chicks day old, with an average starting weight 48.40± 1.50 g, Lehmann breed unsexed were randomly allocated one four dietary treatments completely randomized design. The consisted control diet, three diets which contained varying levels Sun-dried meals SDBM (3, 4 5 %) respectively. experimental formulated be both isonitrgenous (22.5% CP) isocaloric (3.10 Mcal /kg). Feed water provided adlibitum for period 6 weeks. Data entire 42 days assay indicate concentration diet had impact intake. However, birds fed at 3 or 5% better gains efficiency (p < 0.05) than 4% free diet. Carcass yields similar. Mortality also unaffected by treatments. addition, Analysis productive parameters indicated that up positive partial replacement protein sources (blood meal groundnut cake) possible.
