I doubt that feeding broilers diets that differ significantly in essential nutrient content for the same time period will provide a valuable answer to the question.

It is more common to feed them till the same bodyweight at slaughter is reached. That is likely to give a more realistic comparison, also in economic terms.

Hi, there are many works on feeding locally available feed ingredients in comparison to commercial feeds, the works have different duration and experimental design.

Or are you talking about feeding only one ingredient like cereal instead of a compounded commercial feed?

It is often rewarding to feed broiler chickens with well formulated diets. Commercial feeds are economically better than conventional grains in Broilers nutrition and turn over rate is higher.

Compounded feeds are made to provide necessary nutritional requirements for growth and development. This cannot be achieved by feeding just with cereal grains. There must be researches on this matter I suppose.

differ on the strain, but i think if using commercial feed were contamined by toxic.

Thank you all for your valuable answers. But there is every scope that locally available cereals and low cost pulses/broken grains may be a good alternative in terms of economic returns though growth and body weight gain may be lower. There is every scope for further research.

Anyone having this type of research kindly share your conclusion.

Thank you all.
