Comparison of Mixed and Choice Feeding of Whole Wheat (Triticum aestivum) on the Performance of Commercial Broilers

Wheat is the cereal grain of choice for Whole Grain Feeding (WGF) in poultry, despite fact that globally maize most commonly used grain. In this context, present study feeding whole wheat to commercial broilers with two types systems were ie. mixed and different levels replacement by 20, 40, 60, 80 100%. The body weight gain birds fed 20% 40% was found be highest (p<0.05). mean consumption (g/bird) from total feed under during 2 6 weeks age 100% 363.18, 720.12, 1398.45, 2160.30 3202.10, respectively. Birds showed significantly (p<0.05) improved FCR. livability (%) wheat. gizzard (g) non-significant difference among various treatment rations. return over cost (in Rs.) overall results indicated system more suitable better FCR as compared diet replaced offered separate feeder economical profitable due higher gain, acceptable mortality.
