Özet

A study was conducted with female broilers to investigate the effects of five herbal natural feed additives as alternative to an antibiotic growth promoter. In the experiment, a total of seventy-two day-old female broiler chicks were randomly assigned to six groups containing 12 chicks each and raised from 0 to 42 d of age. The treatment groups were supplemented with antibiotic growth promoter, oregano, du-sacch, quiponin, garlic and thyme powder, respectively.
