| Popis: | This study evaluated the effect of feeding cassava leaf meal–based diets on feeding behavioural patterns, growth performance parameters and nutritional status of chickens. A total of 200 Cobb-500 female chickens (initial weight 0.53 ± 0.098 kg) were used in the experiment. The chickens were subjected to treatment diets with cassava leaf meal (CLM) included in diets at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg. Number of visits to the feeder/drinker, duration of each visit on the feeder/drinker, average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (gain:feed ratio), total protein (TP), albumin, globulin and creatine kinase (CK) were the response variables that were measured of interest. Effects of inclusion level of CLM in diets of chickens on number of visits to the feeder and drinker was significant (P |
