Abstract: This study was carried out to investigate on-farm the effect of partial replacement of conventional imported broiler concentrate with Moringa oleifera Leaf Meal (MOLM) at 0 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 % and 25 % inclusion levels from September 2015 to March 2016. The experiment, which lasted for 12 weeks was carried out using 150 pullets, randomly assigned to five dietary treatments with 30 birds per treatment and 3 replications of 10 birds per replicate. The birds were raised on ad libitum feeding and data collected on daily feed intake and weekly weight gain. Data analysis was carried out using SAS 2016 statistical software and results presented in tables and graphs. The result showed that the experimental groups (with inclusion levels of Moringa oleifera) were either at par or higher in weight than the control groups (P
