Graded levels (0, 30, 40, 50%) of fermented tapioca residue (FTR) were incorporated into broiler rations and fed to 400 day-old Ross broilers for eight weeks. The birds were allocated into four treatments with eight replicates per treatment. The rations contained 12.8, 12.9, 12.6 and 12.7 MJ ME/kg and 22.9, 22.3, 22.9 and 23.3 percent crude protein respectively. Results indicate that FTR of up to 50 percent level had no effect on feed efficiency, feed intake and body weight gain when compared with control birds fed on a corn and soyabean based ration (0% FTR). FTR at 30 percent and 40 percent levels were cheaper than corn and soyabean based ration, but FTR at 50 percent level was slightly more expensive than the control diet. Nett income per bird over feed and chick cost was lowest for FTR at 30 percent and highest for FTR at 40 percent.
