Based a randomized completely design, 160 days old Ross 308 broilers were distributed into 16 floor pens and reared for 42 days. A basal diet was formulated according to NRC recommendations for starter (0-21 days) and grower (22-42 days) periods. The basal diet was also supplemented with 8, 16 and 24% dried tomato pomace, resulting 4 dietary treatments were prepared including control group. Each dietary treatment was fed ad-libitum to 4 replicates group of 10 birds at the beginning of rearing period. Inclusion of 24% DTP into the diet significantly decreased concentration of total protein, cholesterol and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) in serum (p<0.05). The highest High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) were recorded for birds fed diets supplemented with 16 and 24% DTP (p<0.05). ER -
