Abstract: To evaluate the effect of herbal lysine supplementation on performance of broiler chicken, a study was conducted on 200, one day-old commercial broiler chicks randomly distributed into 20 subgroups means five dietary treatments with four replicates per treatment and each replicate had ten birds. Feeding trial was conducted for 42 days. The control group (T1) was offered maize-soybean meal based diet without lysine while in second group (T2) basal diet was supplemented with 100% synthetic lysine. In T3 group basal diet was supplemented with 50% herbal + 50% synthetic lysine, while in T4 with 100% herbal lysine and in T5 with Herbal lysine at 50% Higher Level Than T4 group. Feed intake (g/bird), body weight gain (g/bird) significantly (P< 0.05) increased in T4 group as compared to the non supplemented group (T1). Feed conversion ratio was significantly better with herbal lysine supplementation as compared to synthetic lysine and the control. Dietary supplementation of herbal lysine resulted in slightly higher dry matter metabolizability, gross energy metabolizability and nitrogen retention as compared to control group. Thus, it can be concluded that supplementation of herbal lysine at 100% level was found to improve the growth performance in terms of body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, nutrient metabolizability and achieving profitable poultry production.
