dc.descriptionCurrent experiment evaluated the effects of inclusion of leucaena leaf hay (LLH) on the performance and nutrient digestibility of diets for la ying hens during the gr owth phase (14-18 weeks). Ninety pullets (Rhode Island Red and New Hampshir e) were distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments (0%, 5% and 10% inclusion of LLH) and five replicates, with six birds. Feed intake (g bird -1 day -1 ), weight gain (g bird -1 day -1 ), feed conversion (kg kg -1 ), metabolizable energy intake (kcal bird -1 day -1 ), intake of crude protein (g bird -1 day -1 ), coefficients of dr y matter (CDDM) and gross energy (CDCE), nitrogen digestibility (CDN), a pparent metabolizable energy (AME) and apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn) were evaluated. The inclusion of LLH did not statistically influence CDN, AME and AMEn of diet. However, this inclusion significantly affected CDDM and CDCE, resulting in lower CDDM and CD CE with inclusion of 10%. Whereas the use of nutrients by chicks fed on diets with the inclusion of LLH allowed the same amount of metabolizable energy, inclusion of up to 10% of LLH diet during th e growth phase (14-19 weeks) of laying hens (Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire) may be recommended.
