Abstract: One hundred and sixty coloured finisher broiler of 21 days age were randomly divided into four equal groups (TRD0, TRD5, TRD10 and TRD15) of 40 chick each in four replicates and offered isocalorie and isonitrogenous experimental finisher ration with inclusion of treated rumen digesta (TRD) at 0, 5, 10 and 15% of ration, respectively for five weeks duration involving assessment of relevant parameters to assess the growth performance, hemato-biochemical profile and immune status. The result indicate that treated rumen digesta have a potential to be included in the coloured broiler finisher ration up to level of 5% without any adverse effect on performance and health status and can serve as a promising feedstuff particularly during the periods of scarcity and high cost of conventional feeds for poultry industries.
