\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Millet species are considered as high"=value seeds being used in poultry diet as an alternative for corn. The present study evaluated the nutritional value and some characteristics of various organically vs. conventionally grown foxtail millets. To fulfil the objective, a field study was conducted with a completely randomised block design with three replications. 



Foxtail millet (\textit{Setaria italica}) was grown under conventional (applying chemical fertilisers and synthetic pesticides) and organic management in Isfahan, Iran. Then this millets use for TME assay. TME assays conducted with single comb white leghorn adult males. 



Chemical analysis was carried out on samples obtained at the end of the field experiment. The CP and ME of conventional millet was higher than organic millet (11.01 vs. \mbox{10.38\,\%}) and (3\,161 vs. 3\,075\,kcal) respectively. The percentage of amino acids was not significantly different in conventional and organic foxtail millet (9.49 vs. 9.39\,\%). However total amino acid content in crude protein of organic and conventional millet was respectively 92.06/\mbox{91.68\,\%} indicating a higher amino acid and lower NPN content in crude protein of organic millets (P>0.05). Percentage of MET, CYS, LYS, THR and ARG in crude protein of organic and ecologic millet were respectively 3.24/3.20, 1.81/1.78, 2.33/2.23, 3.73/3.72, 3.77/3.62. 



In conclusion, using organic millet instead of conventional millets does not result in a decrease in quality and nutritional value of millets used for poultry production, therefore shifting toward organic poultry production would be possible through application of organic inputs.
