The aim of this experiment was to investigate how supplementing broiler chickens with cumin (Cuminum cyminum) seed powder affected their blood lipid profile. The study used a completely randomized design in which 192 straight run day-old commercial broiler chicks were divided among four treatments, each consisting of 12 birds. The control group is treatment group T₁, as no cumin seed powder was added. Cumin powder was mixed in additions of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 percent for treatment T₂, T₃ and T₄ groups, respectively. In broiler chickens, dietary supplementation with 1.5 percent cumin seed powder (T₄) significantly decreased the concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol, and very low density lipoprotein in the serum. However, high density lipoprotein (HDL) is better under the 0.5 % cumin treated group.
