    The study was aimed at analysing the possibility of using concentrate mixes produced for broiler DKA-S and turkey chicks IB-1, IB-2 for rearing the Common and Golden Pheasant. Diet analyses were conducted on 40 birds, including 20 Common and 20 Golden pheasants. The Common and Golden pheasants in both diet groups did not significantly differ in body weight. During the rearing period, the mean body weight of the Common pheasants fed with the IB concentrate was higher than the body weight of those fed with the DKA-S concentrate. After 4 weeks, the difference in the mean body weight already reached more than 67 g. After 8 weeks, the pheasants in both diet groups were similar in body weight, amounting to 616.78 g in the case of those fed with the IB concentrate and 608.14 g in the case of the birds receiving the DKA-S concentrate. The Golden pheasants fed with IB throughout the rearing period were heavier than those maintained on DKA-S. After 8 weeks, they reached the body weight of 401.40 g, i.e. they were 65.5 g heavier than the pheasants fed with DKA-S. The mean daily body weight gains of the Common and Golden pheasants were higher in the case of the IB concentrate. The birds fed both with IB and DKA-S featured a very fast growth rate between the 1st day and the 4th week of age. Between the 5th and 8th week the growth rate decelerated, ranging from 57.95% to 75.45%. Compound mixes destined for broiler chicks and turkeys can be effectively used for rearing pheasants. In comparison with DKA-S, the IB concentrate provides better results in rearing both Common and Golden pheasants.
