To evaluate the effect of pelleted phytobiotic feeds on the growth performance of broilers, 150 –day old broilers were divided into five groups and assigned to one of the five treatments with 0%, 2% commercial antibiotics, and each 5% of lagundi, oregano, and guava leaf meal following the Completely Randomized Design. Based on the result of the study, the use of pelleted phytobiotics as feedstuff for broiler chicken has no significant effect on their growth performance in terms of bodyweight, weight gain, percentage rate of growth, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and efficiency. In addition, the broilers fed with pelleted phytobiotic feeds with 5% guava leaf meal produced the highest return of investment; hence, it is recommended and can be safely used as feed ingredients to the broilers without any deleterious effect on the growth performance. Further study should also be done on the histopathological effects of phytobiotics on the gut of the broiler.
