Phytogenic feed additives have replaced the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in the diet ofpoultry particularly broiler chickens. Researchers are moving towards the use of natural productssuch as herbs, spices, plants and plant products, which possess influential effects on growthperformance parameters, immune response and treatment of various diseases.

From a few last decades, the use of Aloe vera has been increased as a naturaladditive to broiler diet. Based on the review of literature, Aloe vera can improve immune response,growth performance in the broiler, as well as an excellent alternative of AGPs and anticoccidialdrugs. It can be used for broiler diet in the form of gel, powder, ethanolic extract and aqueous extract.This review provides information about the use of Aloe vera in broiler production with reference tothe effects on growth performance, immune system, intestinal microflora and coccidiosis in broilerchickens.
