The study assessed the effects of diets incorporating mango feed on the weight and economic performance of local chickens in finishing. To do this, three rations R1 (mango + corn bran) and R2 (mango + rice bran) and CR (without mango) each corresponding to a batch of 30 chickens were tested for 06 weeks. The results show that the final weight of R1 (1061±10 g) was significantly lower than those of R2 and CR (1208±206 g) (p<0.05). The voluntary food consumption of R2 (72±2.8 g/subject) was significantly higher than that of R1 (61.6±0.6g) and CR (62.39g) (p<0.05). The ADG of CR (9.24±3.26 g) was significantly higher than that of R1 (6.86±2.32g) and R2 (8.29±2.66 g) homogeneous (p>0.05). The consumption index (CI) and the food consumption for 01 Kg of live weight (FCkgLW) of R1 and R2 were significantly higher than those of CR (p<0.05). In conclusion, mango feed are an alternative to increased availability of feed for chickens. Experienced R1 and R2 rations can be recommended for the growth-finishing of local broilers. It will be necessary to assess the quality of carcasses and explore opportunities to reduce food production costs.
