Twenty Four number of HDK-75 pigs were divided into four groups each consisting of 6 animals in each group. Tinospora cordifolia stem powder was given to Control ( C) , T1, T2 and T3 along with basal diet at the rate of 0.5 %, 1.0 % and 1.5 % respectively. The control groups were not supplemented with Tinospora cordifolia stem powder. The feeding trial was conducted for a period of six months. It was observed that the control group has comparatively higher total viable coliform count (CFU/gm) (P<0.001) in Control group followed by T1, T2 and T3 group. Also by studying the antibacterial property of Tinospora codifolia against E. coli, it can be concluded that reduced E. coli count that was found in T3 group is due to feeding of Tinospora cordifolia stem. It can be concluded that Tinospora cordifolia when included in the pig diets at 1.5% level were able to inhibit the growth of E. coli in the gut due to its antibacterial activity and thereby results in better animal performance as there is less competition between good and bad bacteria.
