Résumé

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of broiler chickens to five different commercial diets. Two hundred and fifty day-old chicks were randomly allotted to five diets in replicates of three containing 16 birds each in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum and the feeding trial lasted for 42 days. Results for Carcass analysis revealed that diet B gave the highest (P<0.05) carcass weight of 2.06kg. Dressing percentage was higher on diets A (70.51%) and B (68.52%). It was therefore concluded that diet B gave better carcass yield at reduced feed cost, hence recommended for broiler chicken producers.
