Résumé

A 28-day experiment was conducted to assess the impact of diets containing fermented whole almond fruit (FWAF) carcass characteristics of broiler finisher chickens. Eighty (80) broiler chickens (21 days old) were divided into four treatment groups: FWAF0 (no FWAF included) served as the control diet, FWAF5, FWAF10,

and FWAF15 containing 5, 10, and 15% FWAF as the experimental diets in a completely randomized design. Each treatment was replicated two times having 10 birds per replicate. Feed and water were provided ad libitum, and standard feeding and management procedures were followed. FWAF10 had similar dressing percentage

with FWAF0. Therefore, the carcass parameters of broiler finisher chickens can be improved with diets containing up to 15% fermented almond fruits without effects on their carcass parameters.
