Abstract

This experiment was carried out to study the effect of the diets containing different levels of alfalfa and berseem clover meal on the performance of BROILERs. 900 Aryan BROILER chicks were distributed into 36 groups and fed diets containing: 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 percent of alfalfa or berseem clover meal. The performance parameters were recorded at starter (2 weeks), grower (3 weeks) and finisher (2 weeks) periods. At the starter period, body weight gain (gr/chick/day) was significantly (p<0.05) increased in the diets containing 3 and 4 percent ALFALFA MEAL when compared to the control diet (22.8±0.63 and 24.3±1.36 against to the 20.5±0.92). At the finisher period, the diets containing berseem meal resulted in a significantly (p<0.05) higher performance when compared to the control diet. Feed intake (gr/chick/day) did not significantly varied among the different diets, during the experimental periods, with exception the diet containing 2% alfafa meal, which was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of the control (89.4 vs. 82). However, addition of berseem clover meal up to 3% to the diet resulted in a significantly (p<0.05) reduction of the feed intake when compared to the alfalfa containing diets. Addition of 1, 2 and 3 percent of alfalfa or 1 and 2 percent of berseem clover to the diet significantly (p<0.05) improved the feed efficiency when compared to the control diet. Economically no differences was observed among the different diets with exception of the 1% berseem containing diet, which gave more profit than the others. It can be concluded that alfalfa or bersemm clover meal may be used up to 4 percent of the BROILER chick diet but using of berseem at a level of 1% could be more economical.
