Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of reducing sorghum phytate on broilers performance. Firstly, an Experiment was conducted to reduce phytic acid from Sudanese Sorghum bicolor (local name: Feterita Gadarif (F.G)) using simple technique methods. Approximate Analyses was done to determine the initial and final nutrition values of the grains while using processing methods and to measure the change of nutrient content after processing treatments. The treatments of processing were divided into five methods of process in addition of control (unprocessed cereal) such as dehulling, germination, soaking,vitamin C and storing methods respectively, to reduce phytic acid content of the grains. The treatments shown significant decrease (p>0.05) in phytic acid contents of the processed sorghum as compared with unprocessed one (control). The second experiment was divided into two periods: starter and finishing period. 300 old unsexed broilers (HybroB) were used in one day. Six experiment diets were formulated with different level of processed sorghum (F.G), with 5 replicates in complete randomized design. Feed intake, body weight were weekly recorded. Then weight gain and feed conversion ratio was calculated, mortality was also recorded. 26 birds from each treatment were randomly selected, weighted and slaughtered for deterring carcass dressing percentage. Internal organs weighted and serum was analyzed, Result obtained shows that feeding processed grain (F.G) to broilers has significantly affected (p>0.05) feed intake, body weight gain, dressing percentage, abdominal fat, live and hot weight. Treatments had a significant increase effect (p>0.05) on whole blood serum contents, high level of cholesterol, glucose, calcium level, meat protein and fat contents were observed in birds which were fed on processed grains. Treatments had a significant increase (in p>0.01) in level of tibia ash, observed by birds fed on processed grains as compared with control.
