The research evaluated the effect in the inclusion of different levels of the tomato meal (TM) on the performance and on the quality of the eggs productive. Hundred-two birds,Dekalb White, with thirty weeks were allocated in the cage during three periods of the twentyonedays each. The design completely randomized with five treatments and five replications ofeight birds each. The treatments were: a diet reference and four levels of inclusion of the TM (5,10, 15 and 20%). The increase of levels inclusion of the tomato meal provided increase for feedconsumption. For egg production, production of egg mass, feed conversion for egg mass andconversion for egg dozen the level of the 5% was the best. The TM reduced linear effect in theweight and percentage of the yolk, however, the inclusion of the 15% have high heavy of the yolkwhen compared with standard treatment. The recommended level of inclusion would be up to5%, for better resulted of production performance, being that, using up to 15%, it does not intervene with the incomes of the parts of eggs.
