The productivity and production costs of broiler chickens are directly related to the amount of feed fed, the proportion of crude protein in the feed, and the biological value and price of the feed. Broiler diets mainly consist of cereals and protein-rich feed sources; in the EU-27, poultry farming consumes 21% of the total quantity of cereals used for feed and 24% of the total amount of proteinrich feed stuffs. The research aims to identify economic gains from the production of broiler chicken meat if domestic faba beans and peas in broiler chicken diets are used. Research results showed that adding peas and faba beans to the broiler feed ration resulted in a significant live weight increase (5.15–5.45%) at the selling age, a decrease in the feed conversion ratio by 4.67%, as well as an increase in the production efficiency factor (50.56–86.98) compared with the control group. It was also concluded that the most optimum type of legume species used in the broiler diet was peas, which were added in the amount of 200 g kgE-1, resulting in live weight gains, the decrease in the feed conversion ratio and the increase in the production efficiency factor.
