Abstract

The present work was carried out to study the influence of supplementation of Phyllanthus niruri in crude and standardized extracts on growth performance in commercial broiler chicken. The results revealed that supplementation of P. niruri significantly increased the cumulative feed intake and relatively decreased the FCR and ultimately better growth in the treated birds.
