Breadfruit meal (BFM) (Artocarpus incisus) was evaluated as a poultry feed ingredient in a pilot study. Diets containing 0, 25, 50 and 75 BFM/kg were fed, ad libitum, to 240 day-old broiler chickens for a period of 8 weeks. Birds had free access to water. Performance criteria studied included feed intake, growth rate, efficiency of feed utilization, mortality, carcass and blood parameters. The concentration of BFM in the diet had significant negative influence on feed consumption. The level of BFM had no significant impact on carcass yield, mortality or blood parameters
