Abstract: The project was carried out to elucidate the effect of defatted rice polishing after treatment with H2O2 on the performance of broiler chicks. Six starter and six finisher experimental rations were prepared designated as A, B, C, D, E and F. The rations A, B and C containing 15, 20 and 25% defatted rice polishing (DFRP) were treated with H2O2, while D, E and F were not treated (control) containing similar levels of DFRP. These rations were provided to 240 day-old broilers divided into six groups. Non significant differences were observed in weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency and dressing percentage of birds fed various experimental rations. Inclusion of DFRP up to 25% levels had not adverse effect, but proved uneconomical due to addition of extra oil to compensate energy.
