One of such resources is okra which is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants against a wide range of diseases. The study was conducted at Poblacion, Bacnotan, La Union from November 19, 2015 to December 23, 2015 to determine the effect (5%, 10%, 15%) of Okra Leaf Meal as Feed Extender for Broilers; and to determine the most appropriate level of Okra Leaf Meal that give the highest possible return. Using the Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three blocks, sixty day old broilers (Cobb strain) were distributed randomly into four treatments.
