Abstract
The growth promoting properties of Andrographis paniculata whole plant powder (APWP) in broiler chicken diet was studied. For the study, A. paniculata (AP) whole plants of around 120 days old were randomly collected from Namakkal and authenticated by the Botanical Survey of India, Coimbatore and confirmed by HPTLC analysis. The mean moisture, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, total ash and NFE content of shade dried APWP samples were 8.79, 7.97, 26.62, 1.66, 9.57 and 45.39 per cent, respectively.
