Abstract
The present situation in feeding of poultry is more economical than feeding to
other livestock. Using unconventional (low cost) feed ingredients available locally, to
formulate the least-cost feed formulation were found to be reduction in the cost of poultry
feeds. Using these feed ingredients in feed formulation requires more supplementation of
nutrients viz, amino acids, toxin binders, micro nutrients, etc. A significant share of broiler
and layer firms were found using amino acids in quantities above the recommended levels
with negligible production and negative profitability effects, demonstrating a clear dearth of
managerial skill to obtain and utilize information on poultry nutrition. Although several
experiments found to be reduces the feed cost and increasing the production performance in
the field condition. However the usage of unconventional feed ingredients level is minimum
it may be due to presence of anti nutritional factors and digestibility of feed ingredients lower
than the conventional one. The shortage of high cost /conventional feed ingredients especially
energy and protein feeding stuffs, so utilization of agricultural by products may make a
substantial contribution towards better and more economic feeding poultry. This paper deals
with reducing the feed cost by using low cost feed ingredients ultimately improve the feed
quality and increasing the production performance.
