Broilers of both groups were housed under similar managemental conditions and offered same feed (iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric) ad libitum during 11th June to 22nd July , 2002. A significant effect of different waters was recorded on Production of broilers. During the study, a significant intake of water was recorded in group A (227.12) and B (198.96)ml/b/d, but feed intake was non-significant for group B (87.29) and A (84.31) gm/b/d. Significant increase in the mean live bodyweight was recorded in group B(968.6) as compared to group A (943.8) gm/b/w and produced mean carcass weight in group B (1628) than A (1442) gm/b, respectively. The effect of river and underground water on all the visceral organs were statistically non- significant. It was concluded that water with different alkalinity, salinity chloride, total dissolved salts and electrical conductivity effect of overall water intake, live body weight dressed carcass recoveries of broiler.
