ABSTRACT
The present study was designed contemplate the effect of supplementation of Achyranthes aspera powder on growth performance and economics in broiler chicken. A total of 90 day old ven-cobb broiler chicks were randomly selected and allotted to 3 dietary treatments groups (T1, T2 and T3); each group contained 30 chicks distributed in three replicate of 10 chicks each. The treatments T1, T2 and T3 were contains basal diet, basal diet + Lincomycin (0.5 g/kg of feed), and basal diet + aerial part powder (ALP) of Achyranthes aspera aerialplant (20 g/kg of feed) respectively. The average weekly body weight among all the age group showed significant differences (P<0.05) except first and second week of age. The overall feed intake (0-6 week) was significantly (P<0.05) lower in birds those received aerial part powder of Achyranthe s aspera plant.
It is therefore concluded that dietary inclusion ofAchyranthesasperapowder in the ration may be used as alternative to antibiotic growth promoter and for better economic production.
Key words: Achyranthesaspera, Broiler, Growth promoter, Cost economics.
