To find out the feeding value of detoxified simaruba (Simarouba glauca) oilcake in egg type growers, a feeding trial was conducted with 1750 grower chicks of 8 weeks of age, distributed in to seven dietary groups. Test diets T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 containing 0, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 percent NH3 treated and roasted simaruba oilcake (TSOC) were prepared and fed to the experimental chicks from 9 to 16 weeks of age. Weekly individual body weight and group-wise feed consumption of birds were recorded and feed conversion ratio (FCR) was calculated at the end. The 16th week body weight of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 were 1113, 1111, 1107, 1105, 1025 and 905 g, respectively showing no significant difference among the groups. However, birds of T5 and T6 groups showed significantly (P0.05) lower as compared to other groups. The FCR of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 groups were 5.48, 5.78, 5.75, 5.83, 6.16 and 7.25, respectively. The profit was the highest in T4 group. The study revealed that TSOC could be fed to egg type growers up to a level of 10% without any adverse effect on the growth of the egg type growers.
