Bird’s intestinal health is determinant because of its connotation on disease control, but also because it is the source of utilization of nutrients that results in successful production. Conventional raw material used for the fabrication of concentrate is expensive and has low availability, for these reasons, food alternatives with indigenous resources such as forage, have been sought out. In this way, B. nivea stands out as an alternative for feeding birds. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of using silage from B. nivea mixed with cassava bran (Manihot esculenta) on the intestinal integrity of fed broilers. 60 male broilers of the Ross 308 line were located in 12 pens, to each of which a completely randomized experimental treatment design was given.
