Heat stress is a significant environmental challenge that impairs broiler production, negatively impacting growth, feed intake, nutrient absorption, and gut ecology. Various methods exist to mitigate heat such as genetic nutritional approaches, air conditioning, ventilation, antibiotic growth promoters but they are often expensive not always adequate. Keeping this view in mind, research has been focused on medicinal herbs which available, cheap safer use. Amla fruit possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-stress properties could stress’s harmful effects broilers. Therefore, study was conducted evaluate the impact of amla powder performance, microbiota blood lipid profile broilers under ambient temperature stressed condition. A total 126 chicks were divided into two major groups, one group kept another exposed stress. Each split 3 subgroups with replications having 7 per replication. In case each first sub groups control latter supplemented 0.5% 1.0% powder, respectively. Total duration experiment 35 days, where treatments given basal diet from 12 days. All birds maintained similar management except experimental diets. The results showed body weight gain at end higher treated than both temperatures. Supplementation also improved conversion ratio (FCR) dressing percentage groups. Additionally, reduced TC, TAG LDL levels slightly increased HDL content. decreased pathogenic bacterial population Escherichia coli Salmonella spp. concentration probiotic Lactobacillus rearing Taken together, it can be concluded that, used an alternative tool improve performance deleterious chickens.
