Results of the study showed no significant difference on the total weight gain and possibly on the weekly weight gain of the birds fed with 10 percent banana meal compared with the control. However, the weight of the birds fed with increasing banana content in their diets differed significantly from the control. On feed intake, birds fed with wholly commercial feeds had the highest intake compared with other treatments. It was also observed that the intake of the birds fed with 10 percent banana meal differed only slightly from the control while those fed with increasing amounts of banana meal in their diets differed significantly. This observation can be attributed to the loss of palatability of the rations containing higher banana content. Among the birds fed with varying levels of banana meal-starter mash combination, Treatment 2 (10% banana meal, 90% starter mash) showed the best conversion although it was slightly higher than the control.
