ABSTRACT
Two (2) experiments were carried out
to evaluate the performance and economic efficiency of substituting maize with
either Hausa potato (Solenostemon rotundifolius) or Rizga (PIectranthrus escuientus)
in broiler diets. Each experiment lasted 5 weeks. hi experiment 1, 60 broiler
birds were randomly allocated to 3 dietary treatments in a complete randomized
design after they were brooded together for 3 weeks. The same was obtained in
experiment 2, maize was substituted for Rizga at 50% and 100% in experiment 2
while maize was substituted for Hausa potato at the same levels in experiment
1. The result showed that feed intake (g) (1344.00 D1 , 1946.667 D21795.833 D3)
weight gain (g)( 1.588 D1 , 14529 D20.8087 D3), feed cost/body weight gain
(N)(40.2967 D1 , 60.1700 D2, 94.9033 D3), feed cost 7kg body weight gain
()(25.5067 D141.9700 D2125.9300 D) and the total revenue ()(953.00 D1 871 .600
D2485.200 D3) were significantly influenced P
