The study was conducted at the village of Joydevpur upazilla at Gazipur District a for a period of time 35 days from 15 October 2011 to 20 November, 2011 in two intensive broiler farms to know feed intake, liveweight, weight gain & feed conversion ratio of commercial broilers. In this study, it could be seen that at 5th weeks of age of boiler the total feed intake /bird were 3023.5 gm and 2962 gm; the feed conversion efficiency was 1.46 and 1.34 in farm -1 and farm -2,for Lohman and Cobb500, respectively.
