The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of giving an aqueous extract of pepper on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and selected haematological and serum characteristics of three breeds of broiler chickens. With this in mind, 216-day-old broiler chickens of the Arbor acre, Ross308, and Cobb500 were used for the research. The birds were administered four levels of aqueous pepper extract: 0, 3, 3.5, and 4mL, respectively. Parameters measured were body weight changes, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, degree of apparent nutrient digestibility, and some haematological and serum characteristics. The results showed that, Cobb500 birds had significantly (p<0.05) better feed conversion ratio, final body weight and body weight gain than Arbor acre and oss308 birds. Also, birds on the aqueous pepper extract had better (p<0.05) feed conversion ratio, and body weight changes than those in the control (antibiotic). Final body weight (2784.93 g), body weight gain (2748.90 g), and total feed intake (4902.58 g) were observed to be better (p<0.05) in Cobb500 birds compared to the other birds at 0-56 d. No level of administration effect (p>0.05) was observed at 0-56 d. However, breed x level interaction led to better body weight changes and total feed intake. Significant (p<0.05; 0.01) effect of breed was observed in the apparent nutrient digestibility of the birds. Packed cell volume, white blood cell count, eosinophil and blood cholesterol levels were affected (p<0.05) by the breed of the birds while white blood cell count, eosinophil and blood triglyceride of the birds were also affected (p<0.05) by the level of pepper extract administered. Conclusively, the aqueous pepper extract had positive impact on the performance of the birds used in the study, mediated by the breed, and level of administration of the pepper extract
