Economic analysis of pearl millet and sunflower meal with enzyme supplementation on brolier production

To calculate the relative economics of broiler production a 6 weeks experimental trial analysis revealed that the feed cost of chicks was highest in maize and soybean meal based ration. Total feed cost was further increased with the supplementations of enzymes. The replacement of 50 per cent maize with pearl millet resulted in a profit of Rs. 0.26. However from the group having 100 per cent pearl millet a loss of Rs.3.16 was observed. Profit of Rs. 0.49 was observed in this group with the Supplementation of enzyme. In sunflower meal containing group only loss was observed. This investigation concludes that maize can be replaced with pearl millet at 50 percent level and at 100 percent level with enzymes. Sunflower meal is not an alternative to soybean meal.
