      An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacement of different levels of broken rice with corn on performance of broiler chicken in grower period. Four hundred one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates for 42 days. Five treatments included control diet and different levels of broken rice 10, 20, 30 and 40 instead of corn meal diets (R1, R2, R3 and R4 respectively). Diets were calculated to be isocaloric and isonitrogenous and formulated according to National Research Council (NRC, 1994) recommendation. Body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and feed intake were measured weekly. Highest body weight were observed in control, R1 and R2 diets in the 4th, 5th  and 6th weeks of experiment (P<0.05). Results of this experiment showed that using different levels of broken rice had significant effect on live weight, feed intake and body weight gain (P<0.05). The results showed that broken rice can be included in broiler diet up to 20% without any advers affect on growth performance.
