To investigate the relative nutritive value of sorghum as compared to for growing chicken, a total of 300 female Single Comb White Leghorn (SCWL) chicks (3 days old) were fed the diets in which corn portion (60% of diets) were replaced by sorghum grain in various combinations, i.e. 60% corn (control), 45% corn + 15% sorghum, 30% corn + 30% sorghum, 15% corn + 45% sorghum and 60% sorghum. Birds were fed starter (0-6 weeks), grower (7-14 weeks) and pullet diets (15-20 weeks) with the age of chicks. Growing performance of four sorghum fed groups, but there was no consistent tendency among treatments as the sorghum level increased
