Determination of the nutritional value and effects of different levels Mung bean seed waste on the broiler performance

In this experiment، the metabolizable energy (ME) value of Mung bean seed waste was determined by a precision-fed procedure according to the bioassay methods of Sibbald (1976). In the performance experiment a completely randomized design was conducted to investigation the effects of different levels of Mung bean seed waste seed on the broiler performance. Three hundred and twenty one-day old male Ross strain (308) broilers were used with 4 treatments include: 0، 10، 20 and 30% of Mung bean seed waste and 4 replicates with 20 broilers per replicate for 42 day. The results of performance experiment showed that inclusion of 20 and 30% of Mung bean seed waste significantly (p<0. 01) improved feed intake and body weight gains compare with the control diet. However، inclusion of different levels of Mung bean seed waste had no significant effect (p>0. 05) on feed conversion ratio، mortality، carcass weight relative and components them (except relative weight gizzard). In conclusion، the best broilers performance was obtained with 20% Vigna radiata seed waste.
