Two hundred one-day old White Leghorn chicks were divided randomly in to four groups of fifty chicks each to form two treatments with two replicates. Chick starter, grower: and broiler starter, finisher diets were fed. Weekly body weights, feed consumption and feed efficiency were recorded. At fourteen weeks of age, twenty birds from each treatment were subjected to slaughter studies. The results of the study indicated that it is economical to raise male chicks of White Leghorns for meet purpose. With broiler type ration it is better to slaughter the birds at twelve weeks of age. While with chick starter and grower ration fourteen weeks was found to be the optimum age for economic meat production.
