This study shows that increase in the levels of poultry manure resulted in an increase in dry matter, starch, fibre and protein contents and a decrease in fat content of D. bulbifera. Optimum mineral content was observed at 2 t/ha level of poultry manure application. Starch, dry matter, fibre and protein were highest at 4 t/ha level of application. Functional properties such as WAC, OAC and gelatinization temperature increased with increase in level of poultry manure application. However, swelling index decreased with increase in poultry manure application and the bulk density was not significantly affected by poultry manure application.
