Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of feed form and delivery mode on the performance of broilers fed supplements developed in Benin. The trial involved 400 Ross chicks, divided into 5 feed treatments of 4 replicates of 20 chicks raised on litter for 7 weeks. The treatments were based on two feeds presented in mash and pellet form. These were a balanced feed and a protein feed supplemented with corn grain. The treatments were respectively, the balanced mashed and pelleted feed (ACF and ACG) which were the control and fed continuously; the mashed and pelleted supplement fed sequentially (CFm and CGm) and the pelleted protein supplement mixed with corn fed continuously (CGM). The results showed that the pelleted protein supplement provided better weight growth while the mashed supplement provided better profitability in sequential mode.
