A total of one hundred and fifty (150) day old chicks (Ross 308) were used to determine the nutritional potential of oven dried cassava starch effluent waste and its utilization as feed resource in broilers diet. The birds were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments group which include T1- control diet, T2-25% and T3-50% inclusion rate of 50 bird per treatment and (5) replicates of 10 birds and were arranged in a completely randomized design. Growth performance, organ, haematological, serum biochemistry, and carcass characteristics data were collected and subjected to ANOVA analysis. Significant (p<0.05) difference was recorded on growth performance, carcass, organ, haematology and serum biochemistry). Broilers fed the control diet recorded the highest AFW (2294.8g), AWG (2238.70g), and DWG (53.30g), closely followed by the 25% CSEW group (AFW = 2275.03g; AWG = 2220.02g; DWG = 52.86g). The 50% inclusion group had the lowest values (AFW = 2043.23 g; AWG = 1990.22g; DWG = 47.39g). Total feed intake and ADFI decreased as CSEW levels are increasing, with the control diet consuming the most feed (TFI = 4275.62 g; ADFI = 101.80 g) and the 50% group the least (TFI = 3897.02 g; ADFI = 92.79 g). Cost per kg gain was lowest in the 25% group (Ꞥ569.39) and highest in the 50% group (Ꞥ638.02). Live weight was highest in broilers fed 25% CSE (2.270g) and slightly lower in those on control diets (2.210g), while the lowest live weight was observed in 50% inclusion (2.045g).
