An experiment was conducted to study the inclusion of crude rice bran oil on production performance, carcass characteristics and biochemical parameters for a period of seven weeks with two hundred and sixteen commercial, straight run day-old Vencobb broiler chicks. These chicks were randomly grouped into six treatments with three replicates of twelve chicks each. The treatment groups consisted of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% crude rice bran oil included in the broiler diet on isocaloric and isonitrogenous basis. The results revealed that there was no significant difference in body weight and body weight gain between treatment groups from first week to end of the experiment period except at second week (P0.05). Similarly, no significant difference was recorded in feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and carcass yields, but in feed conversion ratio significant (P0.05) difference was recorded at second week of age.
