Summary. Today soybean and products of its processing (soybean solvent cake) are most frequently used in poultry feeding as a main source of plant protein, and to a lesser degree other legumes are used. Such culture as white lupine has a high potential in this respect, as the content of protein in its seeds reaches 32…50 %. It is a good source of protein and amino acids, other nutrients and exchange energy. White lupine on the productivity (20…25 dt/ha) and protein output per 1 ha exceeds soybean and other legumes. White lupine varieties of breeding of RSAU-MTAA contain little cellulose (9…10 %) and alkaloids (0.03…0.07 % with maximum permissible standard 0.3 %). The hulled kernel of white lupine seeds, grown under favorable conditions, contains to 3.18 % more protein and to 2.04 % less cellulose, and their covers contains by 3.2 % less cellulose, than production, produced during the arid years. At that the fat content in lupine kernel remains practically identical (11.03…11.58 %) and enough high. In quantity 10…15 % seeds of this culture can be included in mixed fodders for broilers and laying hens. In diets of quails on growth and fattening for meat it is expedient to use 10 % of ground and 7 % of hulled seeds of white lupine. The average living mass of poultry in this cases increases by 7.2…7.5 % in comparison with the control, and fodder conversion improves to 5.5 %. During the normalization of protein nutrition the level of unhulled and hulled white lupine in the mixed fodders for poultry can be changed, ensuring greater balance of diets.
