Abstract: Kitchen-waste could be used in poultry feeding. One hundred and eighty Arian day old chickens were placed in 4 treatments, includes 4 replicates and 23 chickens in each. Treatments were consisted in (0, 10, 20 and 30%) kitchen-waste which was used after processed. Gross and metabolizable energy in kitchen-waste were 4300 and 1999 kcal kg-1, respectively. No significant differences were observed in body weight, weight gain and feed conversion ratio in 42 days of age. In contrast feed intake was significantly (p<0.05) higher in 10% of kitchen waste compared to other treatments. Brest meat was significantly greater (p<0.05) in kitchen-waste diets than control. The similar trend was shown in intestinal viscosity. The result of this study has shown that kitchen-waste could be used 10% in broiler feeding without any adversely effect.
