Abstract

          The present experiment was carried out by using one day unsexed 350 ASAFrench broiler chicks to study the effect of replacement different levels 0.0 , 5.0 , 7.5 , 10.0% of ethanol microbial protein for soya bean meal with two levels of calcium 1.25, 2.5 % in the ration, two replicates for each treatment, with 25 broiler chicks per replicate with suitable conditions in farm. The results revealed that no significant differences between treatments at 0-3 weeks (P < 0.05) in live body weight, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio at 1.25% Ca level, however there were significant differences (P < 0.05) between the treatments at 2.5% Ca level in live body weight and feed conversion ratio. The results showed also that no significant differences between treatments for all broiler production parameters at 1.25% Ca level in 3-6 weeks, but there were significant differences (P < 0.05) in live body weight, feed conversion ratio at 2.5% Ca level. The results showed also that there were no significant differences in all production parameters investigated at 1.25% Ca level at 0-6 weeks but there were significant differences in live body weight and feed conversion ratio at 2.5% Ca level. No statistical differences between treatments in dressing percentage and liver weight of birds.
