abstract = {The use of Cassava Leaf Meal (CLM) in broiler diets has gained attention due to its high crude protein content (24-35%) and other valuable nutrients. Therefore, the objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the impact of diets with and without CLM on broiler growth performance. Search performed on four bibliographic databases produced 584 articles of which 11 were used for meta-analysis. A Random-Effects Model (REM) was employed, with results expressed as Mean Difference (MD). Data was pooled in Open OpenMEE software and results suggested that CLM significantly decreased Feed Intake (FI) (p},
