The study assessed the growth and egg production performances of laying birds fed varying levels of unpeeled cassava mash as substitute for maize. One hundred and fifty (150) birds that were thirty four (34) weeks old were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment of 30 birds each replicated twice with fifteen birds per replicate. The experiment lasted for 10 weeks, unpeeled cassava mash was used at 0%, 25%, 50%, 100% and peeled at 25% in replacement of maize. The proximate analysis of the experimental diets revealed there were similarities in the composition as regards Ether Extracts (EE), Nitrogen Free Extract (NFE), calcium and phosphorous. Also, proximate analysis of cassava mash revealed that crude protein (CP)) Ether Extract (EE), Ash and Cyanide percentage of untreated cassava are greater than peeled but NFE of peeled cassava was greater than unpeeled. Results of performance of birds revealed significant (P<0.05) difference in feed intake but feed conversion (FCR) was not affected by dietary treatment. Hen day production significantly (P<0.05) differs, while egg weight was not significantly affected. It was concluded that 25%, 50% and 100% inclusion levels of unpeeled cassava mash can compete effectively well with 100% maize based diet in supporting egg production and performance and can therefore be used where it is found to be cheaper than maize.
