Pawpaw leaf and seed meals composite mix dietary supplementation: effects on broiler chicken’s performance, caecum microflora and blood analysis

Effects of pawpaw leaf and seed meals composite mix (PCM) supplementation on broiler chickens were assessed. A total of 396-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were distributed to six diets: 1 = 0 g/kg PCM; 2 = 2 g/kg PCM; 3 = 4 g/kg PCM; 4 = 6 g/kg PCM; 5 = 8 g/kg PCM; and 6 = 10 g/kg PCM. Body weig...
