An experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary supplementation of shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and vitamin E on the performance of coloured broilers. Result indicated that 1% Shatavari root powder (SRP) significantly improve body weight, feeding efficiency, conformation traits (Breasr angle, Shank length and Keel length) and carcass yield over control broilers. 1% Ashwagandha root powder (ARP) and 200mg/kg vitamin E did not show significant difference for these traits except feeding efficiency. Combination of 1% SRP with 1% ARP (T4), 1% SRP with 200mg/kg vitamin E (T5) or all three together (T7) significantly improved performance than its single effect. T7 treatment group was than superior among all treatments.
