The present research was aimed to evaluate an interactive effect of cage density and level of dietary black cumin (BC) on productive efficiency of broiler chickens. A total of 270 broiler chickens (initial body weight of 163.12 ± 8.10g) were allocated into a completely randomized design with a 3 x 3 factorial pattern. The first factor was the cage density (bird/m2) namely, D1 = 8; D2 = 10, and ...
