ABSTRACT
The study determined the impact of feeding various ratios of feed types on the growth of broiler chicks. Poultry meat is contributing about 19% of the complete meat creation in the nation and is giving reasonable creation of good quality nutritious creature protein. Pellets and mash feed are two different types of feed that are employed. Pellets or crumbles are generally slightly more expensive than the same ration in mash form. Mash is one of the categories of complete feed that is wretched and mixed to make it difficult for birds to identify nutrients; each bite of meal deliver a well-balanced diet. A total of 250 poultry broiler chicks were used, with 50 chicks each group, in a five-way totally randomized design. The broiler chicks were grown for eight weeks. From the first week to the eighth week, the live body weight (BW), weight growth (WG), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were all monitored on a weekly basis. Different ratios of birds given pellets exhibit similar feed conversion rates and improved growth responses to those of different ratios of birds fed mash. The findings demonstrated that broilers fed various ratios of pellet poultry feed had higher production indices than those fed various ratios of mash feed. In comparison to different ratios of mash broiler feed, the feed efficiency of poultry broilers fed varied ratios of pellet feed was higher.
