Distillers dried grains with Solubles (DDGS), a co-product of ethanol production process, has been identified as a promising feed resource for its use in the rations of poultry as an energy and protein source. The present investigation aimed at assessing the effects of feeding graded levels of DDGS with or without enzymes on the growth performance of indigenous chicken. A total of 180 21 d old indigenous chicks were divided into six groups viz. T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 each with 30 chicks. The birds of T1, T3 and T5 were fed a basal diet containing 0, 10 and 20 per cent DDGS while the birds in T2, T4 and T6 were fed the same basal diet as that of T1, T3 and T5, respectively, but were additionally supplemented with a commercial exogenous multi-enzyme preparation. The feeding trial was conducted for a period of 182 d (13 fortnights) excluding a metabolic trial for a period of 8 days. The average final body weight was recorded highest in T2 group (1643.93±25.22 g) and lowest in T5 group (1580.00±14.50 g) without any significant (P>0.05) difference among the groups. No significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in respect of final body weight, total and mean daily gain in body weight, total feed consumption as well as overall feed conversion efficiency (FCRs) among the treatment groups. Positive Nitrogen, Calcium and Phosphorus balances were observed in all the treatment groups with significant differences (P>0.05) in respect of P retention between T1 and T4 and T6; T3 and T6 and T5 and T6 groups. It is concluded that DDGS can be incorporated at 20% level in the rations of indigenous chicken for the economic gain without any adverse affect on growth and nutrient utilization.
