Abstract: A study was carried out to determine the performance characteristics of broiler starter fed whole millet on sequential basis. A total of 150-day old broiler chicks were used for this study. The chicks were divided in to 10 groups of 15 chicks each. Five groups were randomly allocated to each of the two-feeding method as replicate. The feeding methods formed the treatments; treatment I whole millet was fed in whole while treatment II consists of millet at balancer feed in the afternoon while other ingredients (Loose mix) was fed in the morning. Results of the study indicated that chicks on diet I (whole feeding method) (p<0.05) had better weight gain, feed conversion, and cost benefit. Results indicated better income from chicks on diet I. It was concluded that millet is better fed as whole than in separate form
