Day old (204) Babcock Cockrel chicks were randomly divided in to four groups with 3 replicates in each group. Four rations A, B, C, D were formulated to replace maize at 0, 10, 20 and 40% with wheat waste (WW). The body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and carcass characteristics did not differ significantly by the feeding of WW in A, B & C treatments. A significant (P<0.05) depression in feed efficiency & giblet weight was observed in group D cockrels.
