ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research work was to evaluate the fenugreek leaves powder on the visceral organs of broiler chicks. Seventy two, day old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four treatments T1, T2, T3 and T4. Each treatment was replicated three times with six chicks per replicate. Treatment T2, T3, T4 received the leaves powder of Fenugreek @ 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75%, respectively while group T1 served as a control. Liver weight, heart weight, gizzard weight, intestine weight and thigh weight was not significant in any treatment, however, it was higher in treatment T3 and T4. The leg weight and breast weight was significant higher in @ 0.75% group T4 as compare to control. It was concluded from this study that leaves powder of Fenugreek has amply good effect on the weight on visceral organs which are second to none in importance in both taste and popularity among the people.
