Abstract

This paper describes the feed resource bases for the different chicken production systems and its utilisation potentials in Ethiopia. Past attempts made to improve the production and productivity of birds through better utilisation of locally available feed resources are assessed. The merits and demerits of the different feed types through chemical and animal evaluation are reviewed. Finally, future areas of research on the available feed resource base and feeding of chicken are suggested to aid the rational utilisation of locally available feed resources.
