Abstract: Objective of this study was to determine the optimum level of incorporation of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and Ginger (Zingiber officinale) alone and in combination in the ration as feed additive on growth performance of broilers. A feeding trial of 42 days was conducted, using 180, one-day-old broiler chicks (VENCOBB) randomly distributed in CRD. The four treatments were designated as T1, i.e., control fed on basal diet, T2, i.e., supplemented with @ 0.5% turmeric powder T3, i.e., supplemented with @ 0.5% ginger powder and T4 supplemented with @ 0.75% turmeric + 0.75% ginger powder. All the treatment groups were further divided in three replicates viz., R1, R2 and R3. The results revealed that final body weight gain was highly significantly (p<0.01) in T2 as compared to other treatment groups. While, there was no significant effect of dietary treatment on feed intake and FCR. It was concluded that Turmeric improves the growth performance of broilers when added @ 1.5% level as feed additives in broiler ration.
