| Abstract | ||||
| This study deals with using sesame cake (locally produced) as a source of protein for laying hens as a substitute of imported soybean meal commercial diet.. Eighty Hy- line hens SO weeks of age were randomly distributed to four feed treatments each treatment was replicated with five cages of four hens per cage. The experiment was durated for 10 weeks. Hens were weighed individually four times, Egg production of each cage of each treatment were collected and recorded daily. The experiment was applied at the farm of the animal husbandary Department, Fac. Agric., Sanaa University. The chemical analysis of feed samples were carried out in Kojas. Laboratory (Holland) showed that the protein content in the three treatment local,(Soya 10%), local2 (SoyaS% & SesaniS%), local3(Sesame 10%), were 17,16.9,17.3. respectively, as compared to commercial diet which was 17.S%. The statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences among the experimental groups in egg produced. The results proved that it is potential of substituting using locally produced sesame cake in the diets of laying hens as a substitute of imported soybean meals. Consequently, these results would have a positive impact in the national economy as a whole by saving foreign exchange, and improving the balance of payment. | ||||
