摘要：An experiment was conducted to determine the productive parameters and carcass characteristics of broilers fed sorrel seed meal. A total of 160 Anak broiler chickens were used for the experiment. The birds were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments containing sorrel seed meal with different processing methods; Raw sorrel seed, roasted sorrel seed, boiled and dried sorrel seed and soaked and dried sorrel seed. The criteria for the assessment were growth performance, digestibility and carcass characteristics . Mean daily weight gain and daily feed intake of the birds at starter phase varied from 22.36-30.69 g/bird and 65.62-68.83 g/bird. The daily weight gain for the finisher phase range 47.66-53.57g/bird and 120.72-145.14 g/bird for daily feed intake at finisher phase. The result of daily weight gain and feed intake of combined phase show significant difference (p>0.05). Birds on boiled and dried sorrel seed meal had the highest daily weight gain (42.13 g/day) and daily feed intake (105.26 g/day). The nutrient digestibility were generally high for all nutrients (above 60%) except crude fibre which range between 47.89-51.95%. The results of the carcass show significant far all the body part except for some organs spleen, liver and intestine which showed no significant difference (p<0.05).
