Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the feeding performance of commercial feeds available in the market on egg production in hens during summer season for twelve weeks. All feeds were in mash form except one layer feed in crumbled form. There were also variations in crude protein, crude fat and crude fibre contents of the various feeds as analyzed. However, total number of eggs laid was significantly different among hens. The highest cost of producing a dozen eggs was recorded with the crumbled feed. It was concluded that Treatment 4 consisting of readymade concentrate (35%) mixed with energy rich ingredients such as maize (43%) and de-oiled rice bran (12%) found to be most economical amongst all other combinations. Hence, farmers must be advocated not to use readymade crumbled feed in order to harness maximum profit from egg production.
