ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of
substituting maize with tiger nut. Five
broiler finisher diets comprising control diet which maize was replaced with
0%, 25%. 50%. 75%, and 1 00% of tiger nut was formulated and fed to the birds
over a period of 7 weeks (wk 1- wk 7). One hundred and twenty (120) broiler
chicks (Anak) were randomly allocated to five treatment diet in a Completely Randomized
design. Each of the treatments had 24 birds, with three replicates in each of
the treatments with total of eight (8) birds per replicates. Treatment one (I)
which has no tiger nut served as the control. The parameters measured were,
feed intake, body weight changes. and economics of production. Duncan's
multiple range test were used to analyze treatment means found to be
statistically significant (p
