Abstract: This study was conducted to find the effect of Ashwagandha, Ginger, Shatavari and Cardamom and their mixture on broiler growth performance. Three hundred and sixty one day old broiler (Cobb 400) chickens were allocated randomly to six dietary treatments from 0–42 day of age with three replicates (20birds/pen). The experimental diets were: control (T1), 0.5% Ashwagandha powder (T2), 0.5% ginger powder (T3), 0.5% Shatavari powder (T4), 0.5% Cardamom powder (T5), 0.25% Ashwagandha + 0.25% Ginger + 0.25% Shatavari and 0.25% Cardamom powder (T6). The broilers body weight was significantly, higher in 0, 1 and 3 week for all the treatment group (T2 to T6) compared to 2 week except 4, 5 and 6 week which was at less with all treatment group. It was concluded that the effect of addition of all mixture powder on live weight gain was significant (P<0.05) compared to control group.
