Different management systems had significant (P0.05) between the two systems of rearing. The BCR was higher in semi intensive system 1.69 compared to intensive system of rearing 1.56. The average SFRB was 11.42 g/b/d observed during 9th to 20th weeks of age. The study was concluded that native chicken can be reared under intensive and semi-intensive system of management successfully. However, semi intensive system of rearing native chicken was found to be more economical than the intensive system of rearing.
