Growth promoters are widely used in poultry because of their beneficial effects on FCR, growth and health of poultry birds, therefore there is increasing interest for the use of natural products such as plants, spices and plant extracts in animal feed. In this study, chicks were treated with different doses of ghost chilli extract to evaluate the performance and carcass parameters of broiler chicken. The birds were fed with a basal diet and adlibitum fresh water was provided. The birds were grouped into 4 groups provided ghost chilli extractat the rate of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% was mixed in the drinking water throughout the rearing period of 42 days. At the end of the trial, 0.50%% and o.75% chilli extract showed improved feed conversion ratio. Economically, 1.0% ghost chilli extract was found most profitable. It was concluded that 0.75% chilli extract can be used as a safe alternative to antibiotics in broiler feed.
