description The ban of the meat and bone meal for entering animal diets and the concern of transgenic feeds poses a challenge to<br />animal nutritionists in Europe. The challenge is to find homegrown protein-rich feedstuffs, making sure no antinutritional<br />factors are present which could interfere in the animals&rsquo; performance. The raw Pea (Pisum sativum) (RP), raw Faba<br />bean (Vicia faba, variety minor) (RFb) and raw Lupin (Lupinus albus, variety multitalia) (RL) were evaluated as alternative<br />protein sources into broiler diets. Six hundred thirty 1d-old Ross male chicks, Marek vaccinated, were randomly<br />assigned to seven dietary treatments (5 pens per treatment/18 birds per pen). Chicks were floor housed, ad libitum fed<br />isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets and had free access to water. Artificial light was provided 10 h/d. The bulk of the base<br />diet (control diet) was corn (48.7%, 56.6% and 57%), solvent-extracted soybean meal (42.8%, 37.3% and 33.4%), corn<br />oil (4.4%, 5.2% and 6.3%), plus synthetic amino acids, minerals, trace minerals and vitamins, respectively for the 1-<br />10d-old, 11-28d-old and 29 to 42d-old growing periods. The RP, RFb and RL entered diets in substitution of the soybean<br />and corn according to the cost optimization (P100, Fb100 and L100, respectively for RP, RFb and RL) and at half of the<br />optimized quantity (RP50, RFb50 and RL50, respectively for RP, RFb and RL). The amount used as fed basis for the higher<br />level of inclusion were: P100: 350 g/kg for all diets; Fb100: 480 g/kg (1-10d-old) and 500 g/kg (11-42d-old); L100:<br />360 g/kg (1-10d-old) and 300 g/kg (11-42d-old). The average daily gain (ADG) were lower (P < 0.05) in the RP group<br />compared to the control group. Over the whole period of growth, the RFb group had similar ADG compared to the control<br />group and for both levels of inclusion, whereas reduced (P < 0.05) ADG were observed in the RL100 group. Reduced<br />(P < 0.05) ADG were also observed for the RFb100 and the RL100 groups when calculated over the first three weeks of<br />growth. Birds performance was improved (P < 0.05) in the RL50 group. No effects were observed on dressing percentage<br />and breast and leg quarter cuts. The RFb and RL could represent valuable protein feeds in broilers diet formulation.
