Abstract :This study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of Fenugreek seeds insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Trigonella foenum-graecum L.); on overall performance of broiler. A total of 96-day old Cobb-500 chicks were randomly divided into four dietary treatment groups namely 0, 1, 2 and 3 having three replications in each treatment group. Brooded chicks were randomly separated into replications wise separate pen to rear up to 4 weeks. Each treatment group contains 24 birds insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(8 birds in each replication);. Experimental birds in 1, 2 and 3 were provided fenugreek seeds meal with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% of feed while 0 was provided with standard feed and considered as control group. The results of this study were indicated that final live weight gain and feed efficiency of birds was significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); higher in 3 compared to 2, 1 and 0 respectively. The result also indicated that feed efficiency was increased at dose rate of 1.5% fenugreek seeds meal in 3 compared to 2 1 and control 0 group respectively. In case of meat yield parameters there was significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); difference among treatment groups except liver weight. The carcass weight was significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); higher in 3 group compared to the control group. The lowest feed cost was found in 0 and highest profit in 3 group. Based on the current study, it is concluded that fenugreek seed meal at a dose of 1.5% can be used as growth promoter for the production of broiler chicken.
