  The purpose of this study was to determine the comparative nutritional value analysis of oven dried and sun dried ginger and their tenderization effects on old layer chickens in Pankshin LGA of Plateau State. Six (6) laying hens of three (3) Months old were randomly distributed into three dietary treatments (Group A, B and C) of 2 laying hens each in a deep litter pen. Group A which was the control group were given normal chikun feed and water daily for three (3) weeks while group B were given chikun feed mixed with oven dried ginger and group C were given chikun feed mixed with sun dried ginger respectively for three (3) weeks as well. Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in the overall body weight of the chickens with the highest weight recorded in the control group (2.12 ± 0.16) compared to the sun dried ginger (2.03 ± 0.23) and the oven dried ginger (1.8..
