AB  - &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A twenty-one (21) day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the morphometric profile of finisher broiler-fed &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;dietary levels of ash-treated Parkia biglobosa hull (ATPBH). A total of 63 broiler birds at three weeks of age were &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;allocated in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to three (3) treatments of three (3) replicates each. Three &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;on-farm formulated diets were compounded such that ATPBH replaced 0%, 25%, and 50% of Palm Kernel Cake &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;(PKC) in T&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;, T&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;2,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; and T&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;3&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;, respectively. Each treatment had twenty-one (21) birds replicated three times to have &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;seven (7) birds/replicate. Data collected were subjected to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the aid of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;SPSS, where a significant difference was observed, and the means were compared using Least Significance &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Difference (LSD). Most of the parameters measured were not significantly (P&amp;gt; 0.05) different except for Back &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;length and Thigh length (P&amp;lt; 0.05). The results observed for body length, back length, thigh length, shank length, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;wing length, breast girth, bird length, and back length ranged from 11.02 - 11.26cm, 7.71 - 8.18cm, 4.90 - 5.18cm, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;2.77 - 2.88cm, 3.88 - 4.07cm, 11.21 - 11.70cm, 12.43 - 12.83cm and 1.44 - 1.45cm, respectively. It was concluded &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;that 50% ATPBH gave a similar (P&amp;gt; 0.05) best result for back length and thigh length as the control. The inclusion &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;of 50% ATPBH as a replacement for Palm Kernel cake in the diets of finisher broiler birds was recommended for &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;the body morphometric profile of broiler birds&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
