Native crossbred chickens were raised with diets containing Zingiber purpureum Rosc. Powder at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 percent inclusion. All birds were vaccinated with Newcastle vaccine at the age of 1 and 6 weeks. Results indicated that inclusion of Zingiber purpureum Rosc. powder in diets showed no significant increase in antibody titer toward New Castle's disease. Mean maternal antibody titer was highest for the 1 day-old chicks i.e. ND HI log sub(2) titer+-SD were 3.51+-1.90. While the mean ND HI log sub(2) titer of 35 and 56 days old chicks was 2.46+-1.46 and 2.08+-1.46, respectively.
