Description Poultry is one of the most successful and fast growing industry that provides high quality protein at economical price. Since the 1950s, antibiotics have been used in poultry feed for improving growth performance, preventing some specific pathogenic microorganism and increasing some useful microorganism in intestinal micro flora. However, antibiotics used as growth promoters in animal feed have been banned recently due to negative effects on animal’s health and production such as residue in tissues, long withdrawal period, and development of resistance in microorganisms, allergies and genotoxicity. Therefore to minimize the loss in growth, there is a need to find new natural alternatives instead of antibiotics in animal diet and one such alternative is plants and their extracts. So, the present study was conducted to investigate the potential of Coriandrum sativum seed powder as a natural growth promoter in lieu of antibiotics. In the experiment 126 day-old ven cobb broiler chicks were used. Out of which 90 day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups of 30 chicks in each for growth performance and haemato-biochemical studies while rest of the 36 day-old broiler chicks were used for immunological studies. For cell mediated immunity study 18 chicks were divided into 3 treatment groups of 6 chicks in each. Similarly for humoral immunity study 18 chicks were divided into 3 treatment groups of 6 chicks in each. Each bird of different groups was individually identified by using leg bands. These groups were: group T1 (Control) consist of basal diet without any feed additive, groups T2 (Standard) comprises of basal diet with BMD as an antibiotic @ 0.05% in feed for 42 days, while chicks in group T3 (Test) were fed powdered coriander seed (PCS) @ 1.5% of feed for 42 days. Growth performance, haemato–biochemical profile, immunological responses, organo morphometrics and sensory evaluation of broiler meat were monitored at the end of study (6 week of age). The chicks were reared under deep litter system of housing, standard feeding and management practices. Feed and water were provided ad libitum during the experimental period. The result of this experiment showed that inclusion of 1.5% powdered coriander seeds significantly (P
