Includes references.

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of addition date palm waste (mid rib of date palm, MOP and pinnae of date palm, POP) to broiler diets (starter/grower/ finisher or grower/ finisher or Finisher) on the productive performance, carcass characteristics and economical evaluation of broiler chicks. A total number of 480 one- week old male Hubbard broiler chicks were distributed equitably into 8 dietary treatments in 3 replicates of 20 birds each .Four experimental diets in each period (starting, growing and finishing) were formulated in which (control diet) was 0.0% date palm waste, in the other diets wheat bran WB, MOP and POP were incorporated at level of 5% to obtain basal diet 1, basal diet 2 and basal diet 3, respectively. Control diet and basal diet 1were used in the whole experimental period (control and T1), while basal diet2 and basal diet 3 were used in whole experimental period (T2 and T5) or in growing/ finishing period (T3 and T6) or in finishing period (T 4 and T7) respectively.
