VL - 3 IS - 2 SE - Articles DO - 10.3329/ajmbr.v3i2.33571 UR - https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/AJMBR/article/view/33571 SP - 211-215 AB - <p>This study evaluated the effect of ginger on the growth performance, carcass quality of broiler chickens. 20 broiler chickens were randomly selected into two treatment groups identified as T<sub>1</sub> and T<sub>2</sub> with a positive control and a negative control group. Each treatment contained with five birds. Birds on T<sub>1</sub> were treated with 1% ginger extract and T<sub>2</sub> was treated with 2% ginger extract via drinking water. Significant variations (p&lt;0.05) existed between the control and other treatments in mean final body weight, dressed weight, daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio. At the end of experiment (35<sup>th</sup> day) for 1% ginger extraction treatment the live body weight is 1746gm (p&lt;0.05), dressing weight 1106.4 (p&lt;0.05) and FCR is 1.67(p&lt;0.05). The usage of the test ingredients had a significant effect (p&lt;0.05) on dressing percentage. Supplementation of ginger improves the performance of broilers when added at the rate of 1% of broiler ration and can be a possible alternative to antibiotic growth promoter in the feeding of broiler chicken.</p><p>Asian J.
