“…), but also by its high-energy value (2658 kcal EM/ kg) (Mierlita, 2012). Most studies have shown that, by introducing lupine in shares of up to 25% in broilers meals one reaches similar results to those provided by diets based on soybean meal Brenes et al, 1993;Lettner and Zollitsch 1995;Sitko and Cermac, 1998;Egorov et al, 2001;Nalle et al, 2010;Suchy et al, 2010;Mierlita D., 2012). Mierlita, (2012) concluded that in order to maintain growth performance of broilers, lupine lour can be inserted into broilers food to a maximum of 30% and lupine cannot fully substitute soy grits within the diet of broiler chickens.…”

This research has been conducted to check to what extent soybean meal in the turkey broilers meals can be replaced partially by alkaloid free lupine seeds, monitoring the effect of this important alternative source of protein on the production performance, carcass quality and on the economic ef iciency. The experiment was made as a fully randomized experimental design which consisted of four treatments which involved a control diet consisting of corn-soybean meal (LC) and three experimental diets (i.e. E1, E2 and E3 lots) in which protein from soybean meal were replaced with alkaloids free lupine lour. White lupine beans (vr. Energy-alkaloids free variety) obtained in speci ic climatic conditions of the Western Romania, after grinding, were introduced in the structure of mixed fodder at a rate of 20% (in the lot E1), 30% (in the lot E2) and 40% (in the lot E3). Substituting soybean protein meals in turkey broilers by inserting alkaloids free white lupine beans in the structure of mixed fodder at a rate of up to 30% (% by weight) has no adverse effect on the following: weight gain, degree of food recovery, slaughter and carcass quality indices. A signi icant reduction (p <0.05) of the performance has been found in broilers from the lot E3, where white lupine seeds were introduced in the mixed fodder at a rate of 40%. In comparison with the control group, the inal weight of turkey broilers from the lot E3 was lower by 7.80%, the feed intake was lower by 3.71%, the feed consumption per 1 kg gain in weight was higher by 4.42%, and the chest share in the carcass structure was lower by 1.54 percentage points. As against the control lot (LC), in the case of the experimental groups the price of one kg of mixed forage decreased by 14.02% and the feed costs per 1 kg gain in weight decreased by 10.78% (i.e. the case of the turkey broilers in group E2 where food the lupine seeds accounted for 30%-in % by weight of feed). The increase of lupine seeds share in the structure of mixed fodder up to 40% ensure a signi icant reduction of feed costs per achieving a gain of a single kg (by 10.2% as compared to control lot), but because of the signi icant reduction in the average weight of turkeys at slaughter age (by approx. 1.5 kg/ turkey versus control group), we assess that this is not an optimal solution for feeding turkey broilers.

“…The use of white lupine seeds in proportions exceeding 25% (% of fodder structure) does not affect the production performance of broiler (Nalle et al, 2010;Suchy et al, 2010). The use of lupine seeds in bird feeders, as the sole source of protein, is limited on the one hand by the biological value of the feed in terms of less protein content (low in amino acids limits) and on the other hand by the high content in NSP (non-starch polysaccharides) (Strakova et al, 2006;Mieczkowski et al, 2004).…”

Alkaloid-free lupine seed may represent an alter native for ensuring the vegetable protein in poultry feed. Given the weight but especially the place and role of fats in maintaining consumer health, in our research we watched the effect of alkaloid free lupine seed in the diet of broiler (chicken and turkey), the animal performance and especially the effect on the fatty acids composition in the chest intramuscular fat. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized experimental design consisting of two treatments involving a control diet consisting of corn-soybean grits (LC) and an experimental diet (LE) in which the proteins from soy grits were replaced by alkaloid free lupine flour. Two groups were organized: LC (control)-in whose diet soybean meal was used and LE protein (experimental)-in whose diet alkaloid free lupine seeds were used. In the chicken broiler diet, the protein derived from soybean meal was replaced with alkaloid free lupine flour in proportion of 30% during days 1-21 and 60% during days 22-42 (14.0-25.7% lupine ratio in the combined fodder structure). As for the turkey broiler, lupine seed accounted for 30% of combined fodder structure, substituting between 40% (breeding stage 0-3 weeks) and 75% (breeding stage 15-18 weeks) of protein provided by soybean meal. Substitution of soybean meal protein in the broiler diet by introducing alkaloid free white lupine beans in broiled food has no negative effect on their bio-performance. Supplementing the broilers diet with lupine flour resulted in a decreased share of saturated fatty acids with high atherogenic potential (C14:0, C16:0, C18:0) in breast intramuscular fat and increased the share of n-3 series polyunsaturated fatty acids (α-linolenic acid especially), which at their turn decreased the n-3/n-6 series fatty acids in breast, thus increasing the nutritional quality of poultry meat, analysed in terms of impact on human consumer health.

“…The results on the use of fava beans in poultry diet, as an alternative protein source in place of soybean meal, have been contradictory (Crepon, 2006). Some studies resulting in adverse effects on performance, and others resulting in growth performance similar to control diets at various inclusion level (Farell et al, 1999;Ravindran, 2002;Nalle et al, 2010). In our previous study (Perella et al, 2009) we demonstrated the effectiveness of the faba bean inclusion (without synthetic amino acids) in slow-growing birds, only if administered after a starter period.…”

This paper assesses the effect of faba bean (Vicia Faba minor), in partial substitution of soybean, on productive performance, carcass and meat traits of slow-growing chickens readed under the organic method. Faba bean was used in both starter (1-21 d) and growing/finisher diets (22-120 d). One thousand birds were fed two different diets containing respectively, soybean or faba bean as the main protein source for the entire rearing period. The birds of each group were slaughtered at 120 d of age. The productive performance of group F was the worst, with a higher mortality rate, indicating that faba bean diets are not able to cover the nutritional requirements of birds mainly in the first rearing period. The main carcass and meat qualitative traits, were not affected by the treatment, whereas minor modification regards saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.
