This experiment was designed to investigate the effects of using different insoluble fiber sources on broiler chicken's performance and carcass characteristics. Two hundred, (200) day-old commercial male broiler chicks were randomly allotted to 4 dietary treatments with 10 replicates containing 5 birds in each replicate. The treatments consisted of a control diet and three test diets containing 2.5% insoluble fiber sources either rice hulls (RH), soya hulls (SH), or lignocellulose (Arbocel-AC). The main effect of the fiber source was significant for the body weight gain (P<0.05) with the lignocellulose and soya hulls group. Dietary treatments did not influenced overall feed consumption. Supplementation of insoluble fiber significantly (P<0.05) improved the feed conversion ratio (FCR) when compared to the control. The weight of liver, heart, dressing percentage and abdominal fat percent were not influenced (P>0.05) by the dietary treatments. The relative weight of the gizzard was significantly (P<0.05) higher in birds supplemented with rice hulls when compared to the other dietary treatment groups. In summary, adding soya hulls and lignocellulose at a 2.5% level improved the growth performance of broiler chicken.
