Abstract: A total of 200 Commercial Pilch broiler chicks were used in the study to determine the effects of ascor-bic acid as feed supplement on the growth of broilers. Birds were divided into two treatments and were replicated four times with twenty five birds per repli-cation. Treatment I (control) was given pure commercial mash while Treatment II (experimental) was given commer-cial mash with ascorbic acid supplementation. The average final body weight of birds in Treat-ment I was higher with 1.74 kilograms than birds in. Treat-ment II with 1.71 kilograms, however, the slight differ-ence showed to be insignificant. The average feed consumption was also higher in Treatment I with 4.55 kilograms than in Treatment II with 4.53 kilograms. However, results showed insignificant difference. At the end of the experimental period, birds in Treatment I had a better feed conversion efficiency over birds in Treatment II with an average of 2.19 and 2.20, respectively. However, this slight difference showed insignificant result. No mortality occurred in the course of the study. On the average, the net labor return per kilogram of broiler was higher in Treatment I with n.36 than in Treatment II with ?2.76. The study revealed that supplementation of ascor-bic acid on the ration of broiler relatively do riot in-fluence the body weight although there was slight differ-ence on the body weight as well as on the feed consump-tion and feed conversion efficiency.
