Performance of broiler chickens served heat-treated fluted pumpkin (Telfaria occidentalis) leaves extract (FPLE) was investigated. The experiment was carried out during the early rainy season of 2005.One hundred and twenty five day-old chicks of Anak 2000 were weighed and randomly distributed to five dietary treatments A, B, C, D and E which contained no FPLE (control), fluted pumpkin leaves (FPL)no heat treatment, FPL immersed in hot water (100°C) for 1, 3 and 5 min, respectively. Each treatment was replicated 3 times in a completely randomized design. The broiler starters were fed the samestarter diet, while broiler finishers were equally fed the same finisher diet. Water and feeds were served ad-libitum. The FPLE is a valuable protein and mineral supplement for broiler chickens. One to fiveminutes heat treatment of FPLE reduced the concentrations of phytate and tannin by 13.51 - 24.32 and 5.26 - 7.89%, respectively, but had no effect on the reduction of saponin. The results revealed that FPLEserved to the birds had significant (
