AB  - The research was carried out to determine the growth performance 
  of 84 day old Hubbard broiler chicks on various levels of supplemental <I>Vernonia 
  Amygdalina</I> (VA). Four treatments were used including the control which had 
  0 g VA, treatments two, three and four had 300, 600 and 900 g VA, respectively 
  as an additive in both the starter and finisher diets. The results of the growth 
  performance showed that there were no differences (p&gt;0.05) among all the 
  growth performance parameters analyzed. Broilers on V300 and V900 showed increased 
  feed intake and feed conversion ratio, respectively. There was decreased mortality 
  in broilers fed V600 diet.
