Abstract: Six weeks study was conducted to evaluate efficiency of sunflower meal (SM) in self prepared feed on the growth performance of the broilers. Group A was reared as control (0% SM), while B, C, D and E (50 chicks in each group) fed with rations containing 5, 7, 9 and 11% SM. Groups A, B, C, D and E had mean weight gain of 1629.49, 1723.66, 1831.50, 1882.32 and 1876.18 g, feed consumption 3756.80, 3766.80, 3774.14, 3771.90 and 3774.90 g, feed efficiency 2.31, 2.18, 2.06, 2.00 and 2.01, dressing percentage 56.38, 57.92, 60.32, 62.64 and 62.29. Weight of edible parts remained somewhat unaffected. Group D (9% SM) proved economical with greater weight grain (1882.32 g), feed consumption (3771.90 g), feed efficiency (2.00), dressing percentage 62.64.
