Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of using Marjoram (M), Anise (A), and Peppermint (P) as a growth promoter in broiler diets on their growth performance. A total of 432 Unsexed one-day old; broiler chicks of the cobb 500 strain were weight and allotted to eight experimental groups in a completely Randomized Design as follows: T1) Basal Diet (BD) control, T2) BD + M (1.5 g./kg diet), T3) BD + A (0.5 g./kg diet), T4) BD + P (0,5 g./kg diet), T5) BD + combination of (M 1.5% g./kg. diet+A 0.5% g./kg. diet), T6) BD + combination of (M 1.5% g./kg. diet + P 0.5 g./kg. diet), T7) BD + combination of (A 0.5%g./kg. diet + P 0.5% g./kg. diet), and T8) BD + combination of M 1.5% g./kg. diet + A 0.5 g./kg diet + P 0.5% g./kg. diet). Each treatment had 3 replicates with 18 chicks each (8 treatment × 3 replicates × 18 chicks). Growth parameters determined were average final live weight and average body weight gain, average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio. The results showed that feed intake and feed conversion were not significantly affected due to application of medicinal plants and their mixtures. There was significant (P≤0.05) increase in final live body weight due to treatment 4. Same treatments showed significant (P≤0.05) increase in final live body weight compared with control group. Otherwise, treatment 6 had the highest value for each of net revenue and economic efficiency compared with the control group.
