Popis: This experiment was conducted to investigate the dietary effect of graded levels of boiled Albizia lebbeck seed meal (ASM) on the growth performance of broiler chickens. A total of one hundred and sixty (160) day-old unsexed Ross 308 broiler chicks were used in a seven-week feeding trial. A completely randomized design was used for the experiment. Chicks were randomly assigned to one of four treatments each of which was replicated four times. Each replicate consisted of ten birds, making a total of forty birds per treatment. Treatment 1 served as the control (0%) with no boiled ASM, while treatments 2, 3, and 4 were diets with 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 % inclusion levels of ASM re-spectively. A single-phase feeding regime was employed and the diets formulated were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. The results obtained showed that dietary treatments significantly affected (p
