| Abstract: | The effect of four different commercial feeds sold in Minna, Niger State on cockerel production was studied. The feeds designated as diets 1,2,3, and 4 were fed to Anak Titan and their average feed intake, average weekly body weight were taken from nine (9) weeks of age for eight (8) weeks. These data were used to calculate the average body weight gain, feed conversion efficiency and production cost. Birds fed diet T3and T4 had the highest average weekly body weight though without significant difference (P>0.05). However, there were significant differences (P<0.05) in body weight and body weight gain in T3 and T4. Better performance by birds feed diets T3 and T4 in all parameters observed suggest that T3 and T4 diets are more idea lfor cockerel production. |
