<br/><br/> A total of 200 commercial Peterson broiler chicks were used in this study to determine the relative perfor-mance characteristics of broilers fed on elevated feeders. The birds were equally and randomly distributed into two treatments replicated twice with fifty (50) birds per replication. <br/>Result showed significant difference on the four weeks average body weight of birds fed on elevated feeders over birds fed on feeders at floor level. <br/>At six weeks, significant differences were observed on the average feed consumption of birds fed on both treatments. No significant difference was observed on the feed efficiency throughout the experimental period. <br/>Mortality was 6% for Treatment I and 2% in Treatment II. <br/>Monetary return shows Treatment II realizing an average of p2.36 per kilogram liveweight whereas Treatment I gave P52.25 per kilogram liveweight. <br/>
