A total of 96 broiler chickens, aged 28 days were fed palm kernel meal (PKM) diets supplemented with cellulase at the finisher phase. The birds were allotted to four diets, each replicated three times, with 8 birds per replicate in a Completely Randomized Design. Final weight decreased (1740.04g-973.00g) with PKM level. However, 20%PKM birds (1000.09g) were similar to 30%PKM (973.00g). Daily weight gain (60.41g-23.83g) and daily feed intake (120.25g-54.56g) followed similar trend as final weight. Feed conversion ratio was best (P0.05). PKM with cellulase supplementation could be fed to finisher broiler chickens up to 10% for improved growth response and carcass yield.
