      abstract = {Four hundred fifty straight run day-old C &amp; M classique  broiler chicks were used in a 35 day trial to observe feed  intake, efficacy and profitability in rearing broiler fed  diet supplemented with oleic acid. Birds were fed three  types of diet (diet containing oleic acid (T2), diet  containing refined soybean oil (T3) and diet without oleic  acid and refined soybean oil (Ti). All birds had free  access to ad-libitum feeding. Results showed that, weekly  average live weight gain differed significantly (P&lt;0.05)  and the mean values were 289.9, 293.4 and 273.8 g / week  for T2, T3 and Ti treatment groups respectively. Similarly,  total feed intake differed (P&lt;0.05) and the mean values  were 2.6, 2.7 &amp; 3.0 kg / broiler for T2, T3 and Ti  treatment groups, respectively. Like feed intake, feed  conversion efficiency differed (P&lt;0.05) and the mean values  were 1.7, 1.8 and 2.0 for T2, T1 and T1 treatment groups,  respectively. Net profit of Tk / kg live weight differed  (P&lt;0.05) and the mean values were 12.4, 10.7 &amp; 9.3 for T2,  T3 and Ti treatment groups, respectively. Maximum net  profit was obtained from birds fed diet containing oleic  (T2) acid. It may be inferred that refined soybean oil may  be replaced by oleic acid in broiler ration.},
