Abstract :The purpose of this sturdy was to evaulate the effect of replacing soybean meal and sunflower meal in different levels with peanut meal on performance and some carcass charecteristics of broyler chickens. Experiment was lasted in eight weeks and during the first four week of experiment starter ration and second four week of the experiment finisher ration were used. Experimental rations were obtained by replacing soybean meal at 25,50 and 75% levels in control ration (K₁)which contained 28% soybean meal (A1, A2 ve A3), and sunflower meal at 25.50 and 75% levels in control ration (K2) which contained 28% peanut meal (B1,B2 ve B3). In control ration (K1) replacing soybean meal with peanut meal had produced a significant effect on average body weight and average body weight gain. Body weight gain of Al and A2 groups were significantly high er than body weight gain of K2. B₁ and A3 groups, In ration containing 28 % peanut meal (K2), replacing peanut meal with sunflower meal in different levels had also produced a significant effect on average body weight gain. Body weight gain in groups B2 and B3 were significantly higher than K₁ and B₁ groups. There were significant differences in average feed consumption and feed efficiency of experimental groups. Feed efficiency of groups B₁ and B2 were significantly lower than feed efficiency of groups A1 and K1. Amount of abdominal fat and dressing percentage of birds were not significantly different between experimental groups. But there was a significant difference in carcass weight of the groups. Carcass weights of A1 and A2 groups were significantly higher than carcass weight of K2 group.
