A non-conventional feed ingredient that has gotten impressive consideration is Distillers Dried Grains with Soluble (DDGS), obtained by dry and wet processing of grains after fermentation in ethanol industry. This can be used as an economical source of protein in animals and birds. In order to asses the effect of wheat DDGS supplementation in broiler chicken, ninety numbers of day-old Red Cornish broiler chicks randomly divided into three groups consisting thirty birds in each. Each group consisted of three replicates having ten birds in each. Group T1 served as control (without any DDGS supplementation), whereas birds in groups T2 and T3 were supplemented with 15% and 30% DDGS in the basal diet. The iso nitrogenous and isocalorific feeds were supplemented for 5 weeks. Weekly body weight changes, feed intake, feed conversion ratio were measured. At the end of the experiment the immunity and cost of production was measured. The cellular immune response of broiler chickens to PHA-P and antibody titre to Ranikhet disease vaccine was significantly (P<0.05) higher in treated group than un-supplemented control birds. The total feed cost per bird was significantly reduced in the wheat DDGS supplemented birds than control. The present results confirmed that 30% wheat DDGS in the basal diet improved the immunity and reduced the cost of production in broiler chicken.
