The inclusion of BPM in broiler chicken diets significantly (P<0.05) increased feed intake and weight gain by 3.88% and 1.62% respectively while feed cost and mortality were decreased by 20.37% and 50.15% respectively in the starter phase and finisher phase follows similar trends as in the starter phase. Higher profit margin (8.08%) was recorded in birds fed test diets. the heamatological indices such as PCV, Hb, RBC and WBC were significantly (P<0.05) increased by 3.37%, 4.95%, 31.63% and 24.33% respectively in birds fed BPM and the results of serum biochemistry also indicated the significantly (P<0.05) increased by 19.75%, 12.36%, 5.82% and 24.64% for total protein, potassium, sodium and calcium respectively with significantly (P<0.05) decreased in glucose (89.18%, urea (28.92%) and cholesterol (15.82%) were observed in birds fed BPM. Significantly (P<.05) increased in nutrients digestibility of crude protein (2.20%), crude fibre (3.43%), ether extract (6.88%), ash (7.24%) and nitrogen free extract (2.56%) were observed in birds fed BPM.Feeding BPSM to the broiler chickens resulted in significantly (P<0.05) increased feed intake (10.36%) and weight gain (6.62%).
