N2  - This study was carried out to investigate the effects ofdifferent energy sources used in broiler diets on the growth performanceand the albdominal fat deposition. Four hundred male and 400 femaleday- old Arbro -7 chicks were randomly distributed by sex into sixteenpens, each pen containing 50 chicks.In eght experimental rations, 1. Corn (M); 2. Sunflower oil (2.5 %)(AY1); 3. Sunflower (5%) (AY2); 4. Fish oil (2.5 %) (BY1); 5. Fish oil(5%) (BY2); 6. Animal fat (2.5 %) (HY1); 7. Animal fat (5 %) (HY2);8. Wheat + Sunflower oil (3 %) (BAY) were used as supplemental orbased energy sources. Each ration was fed to one male and one femalegroup. Thus, sixteen groups were set up and the experiment was endedat the 56th day.Mean live weight values of the males were between 1892.93 and 2375.00 grams. The groups of M and BAY had the lowest live weight.the highest values were obtained from the chickens in AYı (2355.58 g),AY2 (2375.00 g) and BYı (2346.16 g) (P 0.05).The total feed consumption and feed convertion of male chickensw ere 4.424-5.376 kg and 2.135-2.450 kg, respectively, during the entireexperiment. The satisfactory feed convertion values were found in AY2and BAY. Feed convertion of female chicken groups was in the range of2.352- 2.574 kg and the chickens in the group fed corn as an energy sourceconsumed more feed for 1 kg weight gain than the other groups.Abdominal fat contents of the males were in the range of 24.1-44.9 gand percent abdominal fat of live weight was in the range of 1.0-2.0 %.Both abdominal fat weight and the percent abdominal fat of live weightwere the largest in the groups fed fish oil. In the females, the highestvalues were obtained in BAY, HYı and HY2 (55.7, 48.7 and 52.4 g respectively).The percent abdominal fat of li ve weight in the same sex groupswas between 1.8 and 2.9 %. According to these results, it is said that theabdominal fat deposition of female chickens was more than the values ofmales.As a result, because of best effect on increasing growth performanc~obtained with supplementing various levels of sunflower oil, it is suggestedthat the vegetable oil be used in broiler rations as an energysubsitute for some part of corn:. On the contrary, fish oil used in broilerrations increased abdominal fat accumulation and caused fishy smell inme at.
