Abstract

In the first experiment, the nitrogen corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) and nutrients apparent digestibility of full fat soybean (FFSB) extruded at 145, 155 (common temperature) and 165 o C were evaluated. The corn-soy based diets were replaced with zero, 7.5, 15 and 22.5 % of each FFSB extruded at three temperatures during 15-21 d of age and AMEn and nutrients digestibility of EFFSB were calculated by regression analysis through extrapolation to 100 ٪ substitution in basal diet. The AMEn values of the FFSB samples extruded at 145, 155 and 165 o C obtained 3893, 3908 and 4037 kcal/kg, respectively and were not significantly different (P>0.05). The apparent digestibility of dry matter and ether extract in FFSB samples extruded at 165 o C, was higher as compared to FFSB extruded at 145 o C. In the second experiment, the effects of 15 % FFSB extruded at three temperatures, evaluated on performance, ileal digesta viscosity and morphology of jejunum mucosa of broiler chickens. Weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of 42 d chickens and ileal digesta viscosity of 21 d chickens were not affected by extrusion temperatures of FFSB. The jejunal villi lentgh of chickens increased with increase in extrusion temperature of FFSB, which resulted in significant increase (P
