Short summary
A total of 250 unsexed 1 d old broilers were allocated to five distinct treatment groups. Poppy seed meal was incorporated into the diets at varying levels: 0% (PSM0), 5% (PSM5), 10% (PSM10), 15% (PSM15), and 20% (PSM20). The findings indicated that growth performance, including weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR), was significantly improved (P < 0.05) in the PSM20 group compared to the control group.
