Abstract English

The present work aimed at studying growth pattern and carcass traits in pearl grey guinea fowl fed on dietary Neem [Azadirachta indica] leaf powder [NLP] over a period of 12 weeks. Day old guinea fowl keets [n=120] were randomly assigned to four treatment groups, each with 3 replicates. The first treatment was designated as control [T [0] in which no supplement was added to the feed, while in treatments T [1] , T [2] and T [3] , NLP was provided as 1, 2 and 3 g per kg of feed, respectively. The results revealed a significant increase in body weight at 12 weeks; 1229.7 for T [1] , 1249.8 for T [2] , and 1266.2 g T [3] compared to 1220.0 g for the control group [P<0.05] . The results also showed that the supplementation of NLP significantly increased feed intake [P
