This study investigated the inclusion of whole cassava meal (WCM) as a replacement to maize at graded levels
on the performance and egg quality characteristics of layers fed. The cassava root, leaves and tender stems were
harvested chopped separately and dried, ground and mixed at ratio 3:6:1 to get WCM. Five diets were
formulated, diets I contained 50% maize 0% WCM and served as the control, diets II –V had WCM at graded
levels of 25, 50, 75 and100% as a replacement to maize. 40 weeks old laying chickens were used for this feeding
trial which lasted for twelve weeks
