Abstract
Diets containing 0, 45, 90 and 135g chaya leaf meal/kg feed were fed ad libitum to 384 day-old cockerels (Dekalb G-Link strain) which had been randomly alloted to the various dietary treatments and the experiment was terminated when birds were four weeks old. Birds had free access to water. The concentration of chaya leaf in the diet had no effect on food intake.Overall significant correlations were found between the concentrations of chaya leaf meal in the diet and weight gain (r = -0.97), food conversion ratio (r = 0.96), water consumption (r = -0.92), liver weight (r = 0.79), heart weight (r = 0.82) and gizzard weight (r = 0.93). The inclusion of chaya leaf meal in the diet led to a redcution in feed cost.
