The present study attempts to analyze the effect of supplementation of Ajwain on the morphometry of intestine of broiler chicken. Two hundred and twenty five one-day old unsexed broiler chicks were used on a completely randomized design in 5 groups with 3 replicates, each consisting of 15 broilers. The treatments included the control group (basal diet) and four groups with basal diet + Ajwain powder @ 0.1% in feed, basal diet + Ajwain powder @ 0.2% in feed and basal diet + Ajwain seeds soaked in drinking water over nightly @ 0.1% and basal diet + Ajwain seeds soaked in drinking water over nightly @ 0.2%, respectively. Standard feeding and all other managemental practices were followed during the experimental period. At 14, 28 and 42 day of the experiment one bird from each replicate were sacrificed for estimation of GIT health characteristics (villi height). Among GIT health characteristics villi height of duodenum, jejunum and ileum showed significant results at 14, 28 and 42 day i.e. highest in basal diet + Ajwain powder @ 0.1% in feed group. Through this experimentation it can be concluded that Ajwain can be promoted as a non-antibiotic growth promoter (NAGP) in broiler industry for producing quality meat without antibiotics in a very effective way.
