In poultry production, feed costs constitute signifcant portion of the production costs. The golden rule of <br>lowering feed costs is added to ratio a new alternative protein source cheaper than soybean meal which constitutes <br>a signifcant portion of the feed cost. In this sense, safflower could be an important alternative. Nutrients content of <br>safflower meal is vary depending upon the method of processing. When safflower meal is compared with soybean <br>meal, dehulled safflower meal is almost equivalent to soybean meal. However, when safflower meal is specially <br>processed it is superior every aspect than soybean meal. Safflower is a feed that can be successfully added to the <br>broilers and laying hens feed within certain limits. When an amount of the safflower seed, meal or oil are added <br>to the layer diets, egg unsaturated fatty acids content increases, and egg cholesterol level decreases. In addition, <br>addiction of safflower in ratio can reduce cholesterol levels in broiler meat </span> <br style=" font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "> <br> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Iğdır Üniversitesi}
