The aim of this research was to study the effect of different levels of the extruded full-fat soybean (EFFSB) on growth performance and serum lipids of male turkeys. A trial was carried out using 300 one day male turkey B.U.T (big 6) during 3 feeding periods (starter, grower and finisher, 18 weeks). Poults were selected and divided into four experimental groups with three replicates containing 25 poults each, in a completely randomized design, and were fed experimental diets for 18 weeks. Treatments consisted on: T1 (control, SBM), T2 (10% EFFSB), T3 (15% EFFSB) and T4 (20% EFFSB).There were negligible changes in mortality. The results showed that the level of feed intake was decreased, while feed efficiency and body weight gain was improved in male turkey fed with different levels of the EFFSB. As a result, the best growth performance was determined for male turkeys fed diets containing 15% and 20% of EFFSB, which was exceeded significantly (p<0.05).The experiment confirmed that addition of extruded full-fat soybean in male turkey diets had influenced on serum lipids, so that cholesterol and triglyceride were reduced significantly (p<0.05) on serum lipids of male turkey.
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.
