  "description": "<p>Growth performance and carcass characteristic of cobb 500 broiler chickens fed on brewer&rsquo;s dried grain (BDG) was investigated. The BDG was purchased from Awassa brewery factory. Five experimental treatments, T1 (the control), T2, T3, T4 and T5 were mixed to contain 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% of BDG, respectively as a replacement for concentrated feed of T1. After 2 weeks of brooding period, 150 unsexed chicks were weighed and randomly allocated to the dietary treatments with three replicates of 10 chickens each. Feed given to chicken by weighed but water supply was ad-libitum. The experiment lasted for 6 weeks, during which feed intake and body weight were measured on daily and weekly basis, respectively. Daily body weight gain (DBWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. At the end of the experiment, two chickens (cockerel and pullet) per replicate of each treatment were randomly selected, fastened overnight, weighed and slaughtered for measurement of carcass parameters. Higher (p0.05) difference was observed in ether extract retention in all treatments. The results of the present study revealed that inclusion of brewer&rsquo;s dried grain up to 20 % in broiler diet could be an alternative feeding strategy by substituting concentrated feed.</p>",
