A total of 60 poultry farms from Shibgonj Upazilla of Bogra district of Bangladesh were randomly selected during the study period through survey method. The finding of the study revealed that the FCR of two birds were 1.723±0.130 and 2.775±0.101 respectively at 30-35 day, and 60-70 days. The superior FCR found in Commercial Broiler due to its superior genetic conformation. Inferior FCR found at Sonali Bird.
