A total of one hundred and fifty (150) day old Abor acre chicks were randomly allotted into five dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment was replicated thrice with ten birds per replicate. A basal diet was formulated to meet the nutrient requirement of broiler chicks. Birds on treatments 2, 3,4 and 5 were fed the basal diet mixed with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mls of sunflower oil, respectively while birds on treatment 1 was fed the basal diet with Oxytetracycline at 1.2g/kg. Feed and clean water were provided ad libitum throughout the experimental period which lasted for 28 days. Data were collected on average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily weight gain (ADWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and oxidative status. Results on phytochemical composition of sunflower oil revealed the presence of alkaloid (3.86 %), condensed tannins (0.96 %), hydrolysable tannins (9.86 %), phenols (7.06 %), terpenoids (5.10 %), steroids (4.47%), saponins (3.51%) and flavonoids (10.06 %). ADWG, ADFI and mortality values were significantly (P<0.05) different in all the parameters measured.
