In this study, effect of plant extracts added to
broiler chickens drinking water on performance were investigated. For this
purpose, 100 broiler chicks (Ross-308) were divided into 4 treatment groups.
Each treatment group consisted of 5 replicates, each containing 5 animals.
Three days a week, the "commerical product" (CardiomaxÒ) with
94%plant extract and 6% organic acit (lactic, acetic and formic acid) was added
to drinking water of treatments groups at rates of 0%, 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.2%
respectively. The difference between treatment groups in terms of live weight
characteristics on days 14, 21 and 28 of broiler chickens was statistically
significant (p <0.05). Live weight gain was significantly determined on days
14th and 28th (p <0.05). Feed conversion ratios were
also found to be statistically significant between treatment groups between 1-5
weeks (p <0.05). There were no significant differences in carcass characteristics
and average feed consumption per animal (p> 0.05).
