Includes references.

These studies were conducted to the effect of different dietary fat sources i.e. dried fat, corn oil, blend oil and blend oil heated for 8 , 24 and 48h. on broiler chickens. Thc responses of broilers tested in this study were feed intake, weight gain ,food conversion and immune response , as well as food cost per kg body gain was calculated . A total of 90 one- day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into 6 experimental groups and fed a standard broiler diet for 8 d and fed from 9 to 52 day of age an isocaloric and isonitrogcnous diets containing 7.02% of six different fat sources dried fat, corn oil, frying oil, frying oil heated for 8, 24 and 48h fir the six respective groups. Live performance of broiler chicks, was determined at 35 days of age while food cost was measured at 52 days of age.
