The objective of this study is to compare some economic and zootechnical parameters obtained by broilers fed with locally prepared rations, with commercial ration or with a local ration with 20 percent meal meat. The meal meat is very expensive on the local market. The locally prepared and used rations contain 4.8 and 12 percent of incorpored cockroach meal or 4.8 and 12 percent of termites meal. The use of 8 and 12 percent containing cockroach meal rations and those containing 12 percent of termites meal give satisfactory result in terms of return on investment (ranging between 60 and 100 percent) and mean gain weight, both significant with respect to commercial rations from Tanzania and local rations containing 20 percent of incorpored meal meat. These rations are profitable, cheaper than commercial rations; they can be adopted by chickens breeders in order to improve profitability in the farming of birds in South-Kivu.
