ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the effects of pelleting and replacing maize with pearl millet (PM) cultivar (Okashana 2) on the production performance and cost efficiency of broilers. The experimental design used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design with a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments (i.e. two processing methods (grinding and pelleting) and three replacement levels (50%, 75% and 100%). A commercial finisher pelleted diet was used as a positive control. The first experiment investigated the effects of pelleting on nutritional composition of broiler diets when maize was replaced with PM at 50%, 75%, and 100% levels. The second experiment examined the influence of pelleting on the growth performance of broiler chickens. In this study, the effects of pelleting and replacing maize with PM on the carcass characteristics, gizzard and proventriculus as well as the cost efficiency of broiler production were determined. Results from this study revealed that PM grains had higher (P
