Abstract
The poultry sector plays an important role in fulfilling the continuously
increasing demand for animal protein in an economic way. Maize being the chief
energy ingredient used in poultry rations is subjected to a high demand resulting in
its price fluctuations and uncertain unavailability along with the associated
problem of mycotoxin development. Wheat being the most cultivated crop and
closer to maize in terms of energy content accompanied with a better amino acid
profile seems to be a feasible option in case of similar prices of maize and wheat.
