This RIRDC report evaluates pearl millet as a feed ingredient for broilers. It demonstrates the value of pearl millet grain in chicken meat production and establishes the optimum economic inclusion levels in diets of meat chickens as well as the effect of pearl millet on carcass yield. It also identifies pearl millet as a suitable, alternative, efficient and cost-effective feed source for the Australian meat chicken industry at a time when world feed demand is predicted to exceed supply in the near future.
