    abstract = {Thirty-six broiler chickens (COBB comercial line) four-week old were used to assess the apparent ileal digestibility of protein and amino acids with the dietary inclusion of mucuna (<I>Mucuna deeringiana</I>) foliage meal. The animals were distributed according to a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates: control (maize-soybean) and 3 dietary mucuna foliage meal levels of inclusion: 50, 100 and 150 g kg <SUP>1</SUP>. The apparent ileal digestibility of Crude Protein (CP) and 14 amino acids was determined.The protein digestibility was lower (p&lt;0.05) in both 50 and 150 g kg <SUP>1</SUP> of mucuna inclusion than in the control diet. The coefficients of apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids in birds fed 150 g kg <SUP>1</SUP> mucuna foliage meal were lower (p&lt;0.05) than in those fed the control diet. It is outstanding that there were low apparent ileal digestibilities of glycine, tyrosine and proline with 50 g kg <SUP>1</SUP> of mucuna inclusion in diets. No differences were observed between the control and 100g kg <SUP>1</SUP> mucuna inclusion diets for amino acid digestibilities except for lysine, aspartic acid and valine. It was discussed the role of the dietary fibre content and the presence of anti-nutrient factors as responsible of findings. It is concluded that dietary inclusion up to 100 g kg <SUP>1</SUP> mucuna foliage meal did not affect apparent ileal digestibility of most amino acids studied in the current research.}
