The goal of the current study was to determine the effect of supplementation of pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel powder and multienzyme to broiler chickens' diets on growth performance, carcass characteristics, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance and haemato-biochemical parameters. One hundred sixty, day-old Ven cobb 430 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four treatment groups (T1 to T4), each consisting of four replicates of ten chicks. The control group (T1) received only a non-supplemented basal diet, while groups T2, T3 and T4 were supplemented with 0.5% pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel powder, 0.05% multienzyme and 0.5% pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel powder + 0.05% multienzyme in their basal feed, respectively. Following the feeding study, one bird per replicate under each treatment was chosen at random for use in a 5-day metabolism trial. Blood sample was collected from one bird per replicate for assessment of blood and serum parameters at the end of experimental trial. One broiler bird from each replicate was sacrificed at the end of trial to estimate the different carcass traits and meat quality parameters. The supplementation of pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel powder and multienzyme alone and in combination showed highly significant (P<0.01) effect on body weight, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, performance index, protein efficiency ratio, dry matter digestibility, ether extract digestibility, crude protein digestibility and nitrogen balance. Significant (P<0.05) effect was observed on feed consumption and drip loss. Whereas, dietary inclusion of pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel powder and multienzyme alone and in combination showed non-significant (P>0.05) effect on feed consumption, dressed weight, eviscerated weight, weight of heart, liver, gizzard, giblet, intestine length, pH of meat and water holding capacity, blood (RBC, Haemoglobin, WBC, PCV) and serum (glucose, creatinine, albumin, globulin, total protein, urea, SGPT, SGOT, Ca and P) parameters of broiler birds. Therefore, on the basis of results obtained, the present study revealed that the inclusion of pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel powder @ 0.5% and multienzyme @ 0.05% enhanced the overall performance of broilers.
