Abstract

A 2x5 factorial experiment was conducted using 300 commercial broiler chicks fed with diets containing graded levels 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 per cent suntlower oil cake (SFOC) replacing ground nut cake (ONC) offered without and with enzyme supplementation. Broiler diets included with 28 per cent SFOC gave signiticantly superior body weight and weight gain. However. due to higher feed consumption in the SFOC groups. feed etliciency was poor compared to the ONC control.
