Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of feeding rice distillers dried grains solubles on the immune status of broilers. A total of 128 day-old broiler chicks were divided into four treatments consisting of four replicates in each group and eight chicks in each replicate. The basal diet (T₁), formulated according to Bureau of Indian Standards guidelines (2007) standards and the experimental diets were prepared by incorporating rice DDGS at 5%, 10% and 15% (T₂, T₃ and T_4, respectively) to the basal diet. The result revealed that there was no significant enhancement in the immunological response against Newcastle disease and Infectious bursal disease and weight of immune organs among all groups and the control group on the 42^nd day of the experiment.
