The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of supplementation of Curcuma longa, Lutein and Cissus quadrangularis on production performance and egg quality in layers. The birds from control group A and group C received diets with normal and 25% reduced levels of Calcium (Ca) and Phosphorus (P), respectively. The birds from groups B and D received diets similar to groups A and C supplemented with combination product of Curcuma longa, Lutein and Cissus quadrangularis @ 500 g/T, respectively. The trial was conducted on 208 White Leghorn (BV 300) layers for 12 weeks at age of fifty five weeks old layers randomly divided into four groups, viz A, B, C and D with two replicates per group. The birds from group B also recorded numerically lower number of broken eggs and feed consumption per bird per day. The birds from group B showed reduction in Total Viable Count (TVC) than the birds from all groups. The birds from group B recorded better profit margins than the birds from all groups. It is concluded that, the supplementation of combination product containing Curcuma longa, Lutein and Cissus quadrangularis @ 500 g/T to the diet with normal levels of Ca (4%) and P (0.05%) is beneficial in improving production performance, egg quality and profit margins in layers.
