Popis: The effect of dietary inclusion of mango seed kernel meal (MSKM) was investigated in commercial layers using 390 twelve weeks growing pullets. The mango seed kernel was cut opened sliced and divided into four equal parts. First part was soaked in cold water for 24 hours then drained and sundried. Second part was soaked in lye for 24 hours drained and sundried while the third part was parboiled for 20 minutes then sundried and the last part was sundried only. These were then used to formulate twelve experimental diets and one control diet. Birds were fed for a period of 8 and 12 weeks during growing and laying phase respectively. Growth performance, egg production and quality parameter were monitored. A significant (P
