Abstract | ||
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of chamomile and caraway on performance, serum biochemical compounds and immune system on Cobb 500 strain broiler chicks were done. were used 144 cobb 500 strain broiler chicks in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 4 replicates (12 chicks per each replicate) In this experiment. Treatments were consisted of: 1) basal diet 2) basal diet + one percent of chamomile plant solution 3) basal diet + one percent of caraway plant solution. Results showed that there was no significant effect of feed intake on treatments (p>0.05). Daily weight gain on caraway and chamomile treatments was significantly higher than the control (p<0.05).Effect of treatments on feed conversion ratio during growth was significant compared to the control (p<0.05). In the biochemical measurements, the difference between levels cholesterol and triglycerides of caraway and chamomile treatments compared to the control was observed (p<0.05), However, no significant differences between treatments of chamomile and caraway were observed (P>0.05). evaluate the immune system was performed by using SRBC, That 42 days of age were showed significant differences between two treatments, chamomile and caraway, compared to the control treatment (P<0.05). | ||
