Abstract
The feeding trial was conducted to determine the meat quality and amino profile of broiler chicken’s meat
fed dietary Soybean waste (SBW) supplementation at different inclusion levels. Three hundred day- old
Abor- acre chicks were randomly allocated into five dietary treatments with replacement levels of SBW 0%
(control), 0.2% (T2), 0.4% (T3), 0.6%(T4) and 0.8%(T5), in 3 replicates each in a completely randomized
design. The feeding trial was for a period of 8 weeks in which the birds were fed diets (23 % CP and 2800
Kcal/kg ME) and (20 % CP and 3000 Kcal/kg ME) at interval of 4 weeks each. Data were collected on meat
quality such as Water holding capacity (WHC), colour coordinate, sensory evaluation and amino acid
profiles. There is significant influence on the colour of the broiler breast meat by SBW. The supplementation
of soybean meal with SBW 0.2 % showed higher (p<0.05) WHC value than other treatments. While SBW
0.4 % had higher (p<0.05) pH value compared with other treatments. Apart from appearance perception,
there were no significant difference in taste, aroma, texture and overall acceptability of the broiler chicken
meat on dietary graded levels of soybean waste replacement. The appearance perception of birds on SBW
0.8 % diet were significantly higher (p <0.05) compared with other treatments. Dietary birds fed SBW 0 %
had higher essential amino acid (methionine, histidine and lysine) compared to other treatments.
Replacement of SBW 0.4% is relatively comparable to birds on dietary SBW 0 %, the control treatment
