Affect of extruded canola seed on performances of fattening chicks as well as on the quality of carcass was researched. In the experiment there were three levels of mixture of extruded canola seed and ground maize, 10, 15 and 20%. At 42 days experiment was carried out tottaly in the large scale conditions production. Canola was extruded together with ground maize in 50:50% relationship. At the beginning of fattening there were four group with 75 one day old hybrid Ross 308 chicks each. The same procedure was repeated 4 times. In order to research the quality of carcass 8 chicks from each group were sacrified. The extruded canola seed and ground maize mixture applied in this experiment caused the differences between all the groups to be highly significant (P is less than 0.01). At the end of experiment the average body weight of control group was 2115.80 g and of the experimental groups 2018.17, 2036.49 and 2047.32 g respectively. In the groups given extruded canola seed, feed conversion was somewhat increased by 2.5-3.5%. Partial substitution of soybean meal with extruded canola seed did not affect the carcass quality of chicks.
