The study determined the influence of Gongronema latifolia leaf meal (GLLE) extract on performance, carcass, and economics of producing broiler chickens. Structured in a completely randomized design with 192 brooded chicks allotted to six treatments. Each had thirty-two birds, four replicates, and eight birds per replicate. No supplement in treatment 1; treatment 2 was supplemented with Vitalyte Extra, while diets 3, 4, 5, and 6 had GLLE as 25, 50, 75, and 100 mL/L. Vitalyte Extra was given (5g per litre) once a week. Total weight gain, average weekly weight gain, weekly feed intake, total feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were significantly (P<0.05) affected. Birds fed with 50 mL/L had significantly higher values for final weight, total weight (per bird), and average weekly weight. Birds on 100 mL/L were significantly higher in weekly and total feed intake. Feed conversion ratio, bled, and eviscerated weights were significantly better in diet 4, while defeathered weight was highest in diet 2. The cost and returns revealed that revenue and gross profit were better in treatment 4. Conclusively, results revealed that the test ingredient of 50 mL/L enhanced better growth and economics of broilers, suggesting that the test ingredient could serve as a whole or partial replacement for Vitalyte Extra.

Key words: Birds, highest, significantly, treatments, weekly, weight.
