    Garlic Powder were added in experimental ration at different levels. The dietary treatments consisted of one basal control (T1), supplemented with 0.2% Garlic powder (T2), 0.4% Garlic powder (T3), 0.6% Garlic Powder(T4), and 0.8%Garlic Powder (T5). The corresponding average live body weights at the end of seven weeks of age were 945.66, 993.90, 1009.10, 1114.43 and 1057.33gms.in T1 to T5 treatment groups, respectively. The average weekly body weight gain at seventh week of age were221.56, 221.73, 259.8, 242.73 and 231.39gms. In T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5treatments, respectively. The average weekly cumulative body weight gain at seventh week of age were recorded as 910.63,959.67,978.35,1077.55 and 1022.41for T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 treatments, respectively. The average total weekly feed consumption gram/bird during the experimental period at the end of seventh week were recorded as623.33,678.53,675.73, 675.73,671.26 and 673.26gms.for T1, T2, T3, T4, andT5treatments groups, respectively. The cumulative feed consumption at seventh weeks of age were 2657.18, 2665.6, 2655.43, 2635.4 and 2649.3gms, respectively in T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 treatments. The average weekly feed efficiency at seventh week age were 2.83,2.71,2.91,2.41,2.58 and 2.58in T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 treatments groups, respectively. The cumulative feed efficiency of various groups at seventh week from T1 to T5were2.91, 2.74, 2.68, 2.44 and 2.58, respectively. The overall mortality in Giriraja poultry birds of various groups during the experimental period was zero. The average dressing percentage among the different treatment group varied between70.00to72.0percent. Numerically higher dressing percentage was recorded in treatment T4 (73.12). The net profit per bird was highest in T4 (Rs. 66.59) followed by T4(53.17), T3 (46.4), T2 (44.65) and T1 (Rs.36.89).the result therefore concludes that supplementation of 0.6% Garlic powder was beneficial to improve growth, feed efficiency, net profit and immune system of birds.
