Objectives: This study was done to investigate the effect of adding Thymbera spicata and Ferulago angulata to the pigeon diet at a level of 2% on thier performance and some blood parameters. Materials & Methods: A total of 56 unsexed pigeon of 28 days old were allocated into four dietary groups including Control (basal diet), mixed Thymbera spicata and Ferulago angulate, Thymbera spicata and Ferulago angulate in a complete randomized design. Results & Conclusion: Addition of mixed Thymbera spicata and Ferulago angulate had significant effects on live body weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and organs weight (liver and gizzard) and dressing percentage(P<0.05). Heart weight showed no significant change in the experimental groups (P>0.05). Adding mixed Thymbera spicata and Ferulago angulate to the pigeon diets decreased the AST, ALT and glucose levels(P<0.05). No difference was observed in cholesterol, total protein and creatinine (P>0.05).
