Broilers chickens forming is an important part of poultry, Because Broiler Chickens Meat is a good source of proteins, Minerals and Vitamins that have Special values. The object of this Study to find the effect of potato on the growth of broiler. This Study which is conducted in Nangarhar University Veterinary Faculty in research form, overall 48 broiler chickens which average weight is 42.5 grams and was randomly divided into four groups, every one groups had 12 chickens replaced in research form. first group the control group which is did not provide research Feed. and to the second group two percent potato powder with basic diet, to the third group and forth group three and four percent of potato powder with the basic diet. The Study indicate that in the first Week the three percentage group of potato powder were higher (p<0, 05) in the growth comparison to the control and other research groups, but this overview of the last two weeks later controls was not seen in all research groups(p>o, o5). In the third week, third group of potato powder and control group were significant changes (p< 0, 05) in growth compared to other research groups, but in the fourth week control and fourth group of potato powder were higher (p<0,05) in growth. Although there was not enough considerable viewpoint (p<0, 05) in research groups compare to the control group in Feed intake, only fourth group was closer (p<0.05) to the control group. But in food Conversion Ratio (F C R) Control and fourth groups were higher (p<0, 05) in first week, whereas in the second, third and fourth weeks was not seen Difference among control and research groups. Overall, this study show that the potato powder has considerable significant in growth but no there is significance in feed intake and food Conversion Ratio (F C R).
