This study's goal was to assess eggshell's potential as a mineral supplement in feed to maximise the development of broiler chickens. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia produced 100 grill chickens in total, which were raised for 35 days. The experiment employed a crd consisting of four trials and five replications. eggshell meal was incorporated into the diet with the following levels: a (0% eggshell), b (4% eggshell), c (8% eggshell), and d (10% eggshell). Feed consumption (g/bird/week), weight growth (g/bird/week), and feed conversion value (fcr) were the variables recorded. the findings showed that feed consumption, weight gain, and feed conversion value were all notably influenced (p < 0.01). by the addition of eggshell meal to broiler diets. It was determined that adding 8% eggshell meal to the diet had the greatest impact on the broiler chickens’ feed conversion ratio and body weight gain. The mean feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio throughout the experiment were 693.01 g/bird/week, 409.21 g/bird/week, and 1.69, respectively. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
