Effect of dietary protein level on lipid deposition in broilers during the finishing period

Abstract: Summary — Male and female broilers were fed from 3 wk of age with one of 2 experimental diets containing 20 or 23% of crude protein and 3 170 kcal metabolisable energy (ME)/kg. Twenty-five birds per treatment were slaughtered at 5 or 7 wk of age to study the influence of dietary protein concentration on lipid deposition both in abdominal cavity and in the rest of the carcass. Though the higher protein diet did not modify the weight gain, it improved the feed conversion and reduced the fattening of birds.… Show more

“…In our work, the OMW introduction did not lead to a big modification in the protein level of the diets, which remains between 18.16 and 19.44%. This level permits maximal growth of the broiler chickens (Grisoni et al, 1990). Besides, the OMW constitute an important energetic source due to its lipids leading to the observed weight gain.…”
