Abstract: In the present investigation, entitled “Effect of Black Cumin and Garlic on Growth Performance of Broiler Chicken” The experimental trial was conducted during summer season on day-old 200 broiler chicks (Vencobb-430Y) for a period of 6 weeks. The experimental chicks were randomly divided into five dietary groups as T₁ control, T₂ antibiotic (BMD @ 250g/ton of feed), T₃ black cumin (1%), T₄ garlic (1%) and T₅ combination of black cumin and garlic (0.5% + 0.5%) addition in basal diet having four replications per treatment consisting of ten chicks each. The growth parameters were studied at weekly interval. The result of the experiment indicated that dietary inclusion of black cumin and garlic increased body weight, improved feed conversion ratio as compared to antibiotics was obtained significant results (p<0.05) in black cumin and garlic combination treatment. It can be concluded that, addition of dietary black cumin and garlic in combination (@ 0.5 +0.5%) level to improve growth performance can be improve better weight gain and FCR in broiler
