Abstract :
A study was carried out to determine the
performance characteristics of broiler starter fed whole
millet on sequential basis. A total of 150-day old broiler
chicks were used for this study. The chicks were divided
in to 10 groups of 15 chicks each. Five groups were
randomly allocated to each of the two-feeding method as
replicate. The feeding methods formed the treatments;
treatment I whole millet was fed in whole while
treatment II consists of millet at balancer feed in the
afternoon while other ingredients (Loose mix) was fed in
the morning. Results of the study indicated that chicks
on diet I (whole feeding method) (p<0.05) had better
weight gain, feed conversion, and cost benefit. Results
indicated better income from chicks on diet I. It was
concluded that millet is better fed as whole than in
separate form
