Inclusion ofmesocarpbabassu flour in broilers diets in growing/ finishing stage (22 the 42 days old)

The work was to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of including the inclusion of the babassumesocarp flour in diets for broilers from 22 to 42 days old. 80 broilers, male Cobb 500® line were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments (0, 6, 12 and 18 % inclusion flour babassumesocarp) and five replicates and each plot were used consisting of 4 birds. At 42 days of age the birds and the experimental diets were weighed for obtaining performance (feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion). Weight gain and feed intake were affected by treatments (P 0.05). Differences (P
