The present study was conducted on broiler chickens to observe the effect of dietary supplementation of amla fruit powder (Emblica officinalis) and multienzyme on the growth performance, carcass characteristics, digestibility of nutrients and nitrogen balance. The feeding trial was conducted under standard feeding and managemental conditions with broiler starter (1-21days) and finisher (22-35 days) ration on one hundred and sixty; day old Ven cobb broiler chicks which were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups (T1 to T4) with four replicates of 10 chicks each. Birds were offered basal feed as per the BIS (2007). The treatment groups consisted of control group (T1) fed only with non-supplemented basal diet, group, T2 was supplemented with 0.75% amla fruit (Emblica officinalis) powder, group T3 with 0.05% multienzyme and group T4 with 0.75% amla fruit (Emblica officinalis) powder and 0.05% multienzyme in basal feed. The supplementation of amla fruit powder (Emblica officinalis) and multienzyme alone and in combination showed highly significant (P<0.01) effect on body weight, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, performance index, dry matter digestibility, ether extract digestibility and nitrogen balance. Significant effect (P<0.05) was found on protein efficiency ratio and crude protein digestibility. Whereas, dietary inclusion of amla fruit powder (Emblica officinalis) and multienzyme alone and in combination had no effect (P>0.05) on feed consumption of broiler birds. Therefore, based on results obtained, the present study revealed that the inclusion of amla fruit powder (Emblica officinalis) @ 0.75% and multienzyme @ 0.05% enhanced the overall performance of broilers.
