| Abstract | ||
| A study was conducted to investigate the effect of different types of protein sources on broiler growth performance that experimentally infected with E. tenella. Six hundred unsexed one – day – old broiler chicks used in two experiments, the first included 300 Rose and the second include 300 Hubbard all birds were raised in floor pens. In each experiment divided to three main groups of 100 chicks each according to the diet provided which are diet that contained animal concentrate the first, The second contained vegetable protein concentrates the third was excluded either of the above protein sources.Each main group was divided to two subgroups represented treated and control. At 21 day of age, chicks were inoculated with 2×104 E. tenella sporulated oocyst for each through mouth, broiler diets was evaluated by weekly live weight, weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion.. Record values indicate that chicks fed on vegetable diet shows significant differences P<0.05 in growth performance from the second week until the end of experiments when it compared with animal diet. Results indicated that significant differences remained after the fourth week in the infected groups of vegetable chick's diet as compared to animal diet. Results showed ahigh significant differences P<0.05 in all the parameters between infected and control groups.Rose had shown higher records in most values compared to Hubbard. It was concluded that broilers fed the vegetable diet and infected with E. tenella may develop similar or higher performance activity compared to those on the animal diet as long as feeds formulated diets with all nutrient needs to all chicks in this study. | ||
