Abstract

A study on using used oil in broiler diets was performances to evaluate the productive performance. Used oil was incorporated into six experimental diets at levels of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% (23% and 20% CP and 3.00 and 3.10 Mcal ME/kg for 0 – 3 and 3 – 5 weeks of age respectively). Arbor Acres commercial chicks (150 birds, from 0 – 5 weeks of age) were in individual cages. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. The experimental treatments were subjected to Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Treatment means were compared using Duncan’s New Multiple Range test.The results showed that feed intake of chick fed used oil at 6 % higher than control group (2,131.08 and 1,976.21 g/b) (P <> 0.05). It was suggested that can be use the used oil in broiler diet at 6 %.
