Abstract :

The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of copper sulphate on the performance and carcass trait of oiler birds. The results revealed that the highest weight gain and lowest FCR was observed in T1 group. The dressing percentage was increasing with the supplementation of 200 to 400 ppm of copper. The best recommended level of copper sulphate in feed was 200 ppm.
