Abstract A comparative study was conducted on some performance characteristics with 225 each of Cobb 500 and Ross 308 broiler chickens fed three rations in which PKOR replaced wheat bran at 0% (control), 10% and 20% levels. There were 6 treatments (of 75 birds each) and 3 replicates (of 25 birds each), in a completely randomized designed 2x3 factorial experiment. The trial used 3-week old broiler chicks over a 5 week period. The effects of genotype, ration and their interactions on some growth parameters, carcass traits, haematological and serological traits were assessed. The effects of genotype and ration on most of the carcass, haematological and serological traits evaluated were not significant (p>0.05). The growth traits evaluated were also similar (p>0.05) for both Cobb 500 and Ross 308 birds. On the other hand, there were significant (p0.05). The effects of genotype × ration interaction on all performance parameters assessed were not significant(p>0.05); implying that farmers can raise either Cobb 500 or Ross 308 on any of the three rations offered without any detrimental effects on performance and would make savings/profit in feed cost/kg weight gain of GH¢0.70 when PKOR is used in broiler ration up to 20% inclusion rate
