Abstract: 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. 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. 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. Mortality was 6% for Treatment I and 2% in Treatment II. Monetary return shows Treatment II realizing an average of p2.36 per kilogram liveweight whereas Treatment I gave P52.25 per kilogram liveweight.
