Abstract

One experiment was conducted in order to evaluate four levels of macaroni waste including: 0, 10, 20 and 30 percentage in
growing turkey feed in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 120 local turkey including 3 replicates in 12 pens.
During the experiment (3-8 weeks), turkeys received feed and water of free access. Weight gain, feed consumption and feed
efficiency were measured weekly. Different levels of macaroni waste had no significant effects on feed consumption, but
level of 20 percentage of macaroni waste had lowest feed consumption (2072.91gram). Weight gain and feed efficiency were
significantly (P
