Total 90-day old chicks were distributed into two groups with 45 Giriraja chicks in T1 group and 45 Raja II chicks in T2 group. To comparative the growth performance of Giriraja and Raja–II birds in Gadag region this study was conducted for 56 days. Except for the first week of their growth which shows comparatively higher weight gain in Raja II chicks (p ≤0.05) and there was no significant difference observed in body weight, feed consumption and feed efficiency in both the groups.
