Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth performance and carcass yield of three commercial strains of broiler chickens namely Arbor Acre, Marshal and Ross reared in a tropical environment. 150 day old chicks per strain were brooded in separate brooding pens from day old to 2 weeks of age. At two weeks of age, each strain was separated into sexes and each sex replicated thrice and randomly placed into
