Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that rapeseed meal is feed of high quality which can be used with certain limitations in broiler nutrition. It can be used as substitute for plant protein feeds in different combinations. It can be used in the amount of up to 10% in mixtures without any potential threat of serious depression in regard to production traits of broiler chickens, or negative consequences on health condition of chickens. Recommendation to farmers is to use this feed in nutrition of broiler chickens, because by introduction of this feed into diets other more expensive feeds can be substituted, primarily soybean meal, and this will reduce the cost of complete mixtures and increase the profitability of the poultry meat production.
