The current study was conducted in private farms at AL-Khatatpa -the Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Total number was 1155000 birds which used, all of them from one strain Ross 408 to investigate the effect of different housing systems (cages and floor) on broiler performance and evaluate that economically. By studying its effect on body weights at different ages, growth rates, feed index, feed conversion, European production efficiency (EPE), production number (PN) and livability. Where Body weights were measured at one-day-old chicks, then were weighted weekly till 35 days, and growth rates were estimated intervals at (1-7, 7-14, 14-21, 21-28, and 28-35) days of age, and cumulatively at ( 1-14, 1-21, 1-28, and 1-35) days of age. The most important results were: 1. Significant (P ≤ 0.05) statistical differences were found between the two types of housing systems (floor and cages) were for body weight at 7, 21and 28d, of age, and highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) for body weights at 1, 14, and 35d. of age. 2. Significant (P ≤ 0.05) statistical differences were found between the two types of housing systems floor and cages) were significant (P ≤ 0.05) for the cumulative growth rate during the 1-21 period, and highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) for the cumulative growth rate during the (1-28 and 1-35) periods. But there is no significance (P ≥ 0.05) for the cumulative growth rates during the1-14 period. 3. Highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) statistical differences were between the two types of housing systems floor and cages) were for feed/bird, g, and feed conversion. But there is no significance (P ≥ 0.05) for feed index and feed/bird /m 2 . 4. The average economical gain/bird in the floor housing system (16.89 L. E/ bird) was nearly equal to the gain/bird of the cage housing system (16.971 L. E /bird) with differences between the two systems were found due to the capacity of the cages compared to the floor. In conclusion, the findings of this study confirm that housing type has a massive effect on the productive performance of broiler chickens. The cage housing system is also considered more economical than the floor housing system.
