This study was undertaken to determine the proximate composition and variations of nutrient in commercial layer’s feeds produced and sold in Addis Ababa and Bishoftu. A total of 438 feed samples classified into two sampling categories were collected in 2022. The first category referred as premarket feed and comprises 240 samples collected from 12 licensed commercial feed producers, while the second referred as post market feed sample consist of 198 samples collected from 198 commercial layer farms who use feed produced by commercial feed producers.
