Abstract
In the six week trial, 150 day-old broiler ehicks were fed on five experimental rations. The ration were formulated in such a way that fish meal was gradually replaced with rice protein meal. Average total weight gain per chick and feed consumption per chick on rations A, B, C, D and E was ]561.90, 1606.43, 1518.10, ]505.30 and 2523.95 g and 3152.40, 3156.30, 3]37.00, 3092.60 and 2523.95 g, respectively. Average feed efficiency and dressing percentage of chicks on rations A, B, C, D and E was 2.02, 1.96, 2.07, 2.06 and 1.85 and 62. I 8,62.30,58.30, 60.50 and 58.50, respectively. Significant differences were found among the treatments in everting influenee on weight gain and feed consumption but non-significant differences were found among the treatments in everting influence on feed efficiency and dressing percentage. It was observed that ration containing 10% rice protein meal was most economical.
