| The benificial application of untraditional feedstuffs such as sunflower meal (SFM) in animal and poultry nutrition in developing countries has received considerable attention. SFM is a by-product of sunflower oil industry, and has been increasingly added to animal and birds diets. Moreover, SFM is potentially one of the most important protein source in the world. Nowadays, it is well known that feed represents the main cost of animal and poultry production and accounts about 75% of the total cost. The increasing feed ingredients price of poultry nutrition caused to look closely at agricultural by-products which are less cost than traditional ingredients. Thus, the waste residues of crops, vegetables and fruits after harvesting and processing could be used as sources of protein, energy and other nutrients in feeding animals and poultry. Reports from variuos laboratories on the using SFM as feed ingredient for poultry are discussed in this review. Based on the findings presented, SFM is an acceptable feed componentof poultry rations and can be fed at 25% in broiler and 20% in layer diets. However, replacement of soybean meal (SBM) with SFM may affect dietary inclusions of essential amino acids, and use of synthetic lysine may need to be increased. The high levels of SFM in poultry diets can be used successfully with appropriate diet formulation adjustments for energy and amino acids particularly lysine and methionine. This compilation with its valubale information would be beneficial for researchers, chemists, feed and food industry, and certainly could help to promote the usage of SFM in poultry production.

IntroductionIt is well known that prices of poultry meat are lower than those of other meats and this created a high demand for poultry meat in many countries around the world within the last few years. Many factors affect costs of poultry production, such as feed price, feed fed amount, crude protein content of feed, and the biological value of nutrients. Because of the limited resources of feedstuffs in developing countries and increasing demand for soybean meal (SBM) as a main source for crude protein, feeding costs have tended to increase (1). The use of untraditional feedstuffs in poultry diets has received great attention in developing countries. Sunflower meal (SFM) is defined as a by-product of the sunflower oil industry (2). The chemical composition of sunflower meal mainly depends on some factors like the seed, the method of processing, and the degree of decortication. SFM contains about 33%-37% crude protein and 18%-23% fiber contents. The meal is a mixture of hulls and kernel in a ratio about 40%/60% as described by Lević et al. (3). The major challenge of the inclusion of SFM in diets of broilers is its high content of fibers (4), which has negative impacts on growth and carcass traits. To solve this problem, certain synthetic enzymes like phytase and β-glucanase could be added to broiler diets having SFM to help in the digestion of fibers and to decrease their negative effect on growth parameters of broiler chickens. Lipiec (5) stated that SFM can be successfully used in the nutrition of monogastric animals at levels of 50-150 g/kg diet. Alagawany et al. (6) reported that there are many factors encouraging the use of SFM in poultry nutrition, like its cheap price compared to SBM and being free from antinutritional factors and toxic molecules. The aforementioned authors reported that SFM as an alternative feedstuff could be utilized profitably at levels of 200 g/kg of broiler diets without any harmful effects on growth and carcass yield. Using enzymes could be a practical way to enhance performance and improve utilization of higher levels of agroindustry Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the substituting effect of sunflower meal (SFM) for soybean meal (SBM) with or without supplemental Avizyme on growth performance, protein and energy efficiency ratios, carcass traits, and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens. A 4 × 2 factorial design experiment was conducted with four levels of SFM replacing SBM (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%) and two levels of supplemented Avizyme (0 or 0.1 g/kg diet). Results revealed that increasing SFM substitution for SBM up to 50% was associated with an increase in body weight (P < 0.01). Daily weight gain was statistically (P < 0.01) enhanced with increasing SFM up to 50% through 22 to 42 and 7 to 42 days of age. Feed conversion ratio improved (P < 0.01) in groups given SFM at 25% and 50% compared to the control. No carcass values were affected by SFM inclusion or Avizyme. The inclusion of 25% or 50% SFM increased (P < 0.01) protein efficiency at periods of 7-21 an...

“…These data are on contrast to (Ologhobo, 1991) who observed that substituting SFM for SBM at levels 50, 75, and 100% decreased the percentages of carcass, dressing and total edible meat. Also, (Salari et al, 2009) found that the percentages weight of gizzard, breast, thigh, gastrointestinal tract and abdominal fat were not affected by dietary treatments which contained different levels of full fat sunflower seed; while, liver weight % was decreased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, (ElSherif et al, 1995) revealed that partial substitution of soybean meal by 5, 10 or 15% of sunflower meal did not result in significant difference in the abdominal fat or carcass component (liver and gizzard) percentages.…”

Key words:Broiler chickens -sunflower meal -Essential oil -Growth performanceImmune response -Intestinal villi.One hundred and eighty one-day-old dual purpose chicks of mixed sex were used to investigate the effect of partial replacement of soybean protein by sunflower meal (SFM) without or with essential oil mixture (EOM) supplementation on growth performance, immune response, carcass characteristics and intestinal histopathology of broiler chickens. The birds were divided into 6 groups of a completely randomized design of 3 levels of sunflower meal (0, 15 and 30 %) as a substitute for soybean meal with or without essential oil mixture supplementation. The basal diets were formulated based on corn and soybean meal to meet the nutrient requirements of broiler chickens. Broilers fed on diets containing sunflower meal had a good growth performance comparable to those fed on diets without sunflower meal. Moreover, the replacement of soybean protein by SFM with EOM supplementation improved phagocytic activity, phagocytic index and antibody titer against Newcastle disease vaccine at 21th, 35 th and 49 th of broiler age when compared with groups fed on the same diets without EOM supplementation. SFM containing diets significantly (P≤0.05) increased total bacterial counts compared with control group fed on corn -soybean based diet. However, it was observed that 0%, 15% or 30% of soybean protein replacement by SFM with EOM supplementation had no significant effect on intestinal total bacterial counts compared with groups fed on the same diet without EOM supplementation. Moreover, 15% of soybean protein replacement by SFM significantly (P≤0.05) increased ileum villi length and nonsignificantly improved crypt depth and width when compared with control group. On the other hand, 30% of soybean protein replacement by SFM had no significant effect on ileum villi length while, significantly (P≤0.05) reduced ileum crypt depth and width compared with control. In addition to that, it was observed that 0.0, 15% or 30% of soybean protein replacement by SFM with EOM supplementation improved ileum villi length, crypt depth and width compared with broiler chicks group fed on the same diet without EOM supplementation. , it can be concluded that sunflower meal without or with essential oil mixture supplementation could be successfully incorporated in broiler diets as a substitute of soybean protein.
