Effects of Replacing Maize with <i>Dioscarea bulbifera</i> Flour on Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens

The present study was designed to evaluate Dioscarea bulbifera flour as potential feed ingredient in broilers diets. For this purpose, 256-day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks, were divided into 4 groups replicated times a completely randomized design. A control ration (R0) containing maize the main energy source compared three other rations which 50%, 75% and 100% substituted with flour. results showed that, increasing rate of had no significant (p > 0.05) effect on digestibility components. Feed intake higher 50% inclusion levels. As ration, ration. induced linear could be sustainable solution palliate growing inflation animal ingredient. However, incorporation level substitution must not exceed at risk depreciating growth performance broilers.
