Abstract: In the present investigation, a total of 180 day-old broiler chicks were divided into five groups having 36 chicks with 3 replicates of 12 chicks in each group. The birds of T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4groups were fed with the diets having 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% DDGS, respectively. The feeding trial was conducted for a period of 42 days. The total feed consumption per broiler for different experimental groups was highest in T0 group (4132.55g) and lowest in T4 group (3477.95g). The final body weight per broiler was highest in T0 group (2130.68 ± 24.50g) followed by T1 group (2050.33 ± 18.70g), T2 (1985.22 ± 19.44g), T3 (1870.51 ± 19.11g) and T4 (1711.70 ± 20.69g). The overall FCR of the entire period of the experimental groups was best in T1 group (1.92) followed by T0 (1.94), T2 (1.96), T3 (2.01) and T0 (2.03) group. The per cent survivability of T1 and T2 groups were cent per cent (100) followed by T3 (97.22), T0 (94.44) and T4 (91.67) group. The gross profit per broiler was found to be highest in T1 group and lowest in T4 group. From the results obtained it can be concluded that DDGS can be incorporated in broiler ration at the levels of 5%.
