Abstract Poultry farming plays an important role in supplying meat and eggs, which are significant sources of protein for human consumption. The growth and development of poultry chicks largely depend on the nutritional quality and composition of the feed provided during their early stages of life. The present study aims to examine the effect of different poultry diets on the growth performance of poultry chicks through a case study conducted at a poultry farm. A total of 60 eggs were selected from a population of 800 eggs belonging to four poultry species Pure Breed, Hybrid Chicken, Bantam Chicken, and Broiler using a stratified random sampling technique with equal representation of 15 eggs from each species. After hatching, the chicks were divided into groups and provided with four different types of diets for a period of 24 days. The diets consisted of combinations of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, and fatty acids. The growth of the chicks was monitored by recording their weight and height regularly. Additional factors such as gender and the future purpose of the chick (egg-laying or meat production) were also considered in the analysis. Descriptive statistical methods and comparative analysis were used to study the relationship between diet composition and growth performance. The results indicate that diet composition has a noticeable influence on the growth of poultry chicks, and diets containing higher protein and balanced nutrients contribute to improved growth performance. The findings of this study provide useful insights for poultry farmers regarding effective feed management practices for better poultry productivity.
