An experiment was conducted for 30 days to evaluate the performance of finisher broiler chickens fed maggot meal as a supplement in the commercial diets on their performance of finisher broiler chickens. Maggot meal was analysed to contain 40.12% CP, 10.97% CF, 6.88% EE, 15.88% ash. The four treatments used in this experiment were: (1) T 0 : commercial ration without maggot meal; (2) T 1 : commercial ration with 75% maggot meal; (3) T 2 : commercial ration with 50% maggot meal; and (4) T 3 : commercial ration added with 25% maggot meal. Statistical analyses showed that the treatments did not affect (P 0.05) daily weight gain and feed efficiency of the birds. Maggot supplementation could reduce 25% commercial ration fed to broiler chickens.
