Abstract
The results of the present study shows that replacement of yellow maize with ragi and sorghum individually at 50 per cent and 25 per cent in combination with a soy oil in 50 per cent diet fed groups and rest 50 per cent with fish oil fed groups on equal crude protein ratio basis containing adequate level of protein could support the body weight, feed intake and feed efficiency in broiler chicks from one to six weeks of age comparable to that of maize-soy fed dietary groups. Ragi and sorghum are comparable to that of maize in terms of proximate composition. Replacement of yellow maize by ragi and sorghum in presence of enzyme (Anazyme) at constant level of soy oil and fish oil could be replaced upto 50 per cent of maize by weight basis in broiler diets without affecting the broiler performance. However, enzyme supplementation could not show any benefit over unsupplemented group (50% ragi / sorghum). Fish oil proved to be better than soyoil along with cereals like ragi and sorghum.
