A three-week study was conducted to evaluate the performance characteristics and apparent nutrient digestibility of broilers finisher fed African Yam Bean Cake (AYBC). Treatment 1 had 0 % African yam bean cake and served as control while treatments 2, 3, 4 and 5 contained 5, 10, 15 and 20 % African yam bean cake respectively. One hundred and fifty-3-week old unsexed Marshal R broilers were carried over from starting phase and randomly allotted to the 5 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (CRD). Each dietary group had 30 birds with 10 birds per replicate and replicated three times. Birds fed treatment 3 had the highest mean weight gain (1430 g) that was not significantly (p>0.05) different from others, treatment 1 gave the least feed conversion ratio (1.57) while least protein efficiency ratio (1.32) was obtained on birds fed treatment 3. Therefore, birds fed treatment 1 gave the best nutrient utilization. In conclusion, African yam bean cake enhanced performance characteristics and apparent nutrient digestibility of broiler finisher. Therefore, inclusion level of African yam bean cake beyond 20 % should be researched on.
