Abstract
This work was conducted to study the possibility of feeding date stone meal (DSM) to 280 commercial Hisex Brown Pullets during the rearing Period (6-20) weeks of age. The rates of inclusion were O/T1, 30/T2, 60/T3. Seven treatments with two replicates for each were used. Results showed that Pullets in Tl were significant)y heavier at the end of rearing period than those fed no DSM P < 0.05. While Pullets in T3 were significantly lighter than all treatment P < 0.05. Food consumption differed significantly between treatments only during the age of 14-20 weeks P < 0.05. Whereas, egg production was significantly lower in T3 than in all other treatments. Mortality, on the other hand, was not effected by treatments.
