| Abstract | ||
| A trial was conducted to investigate the effect of powdered thyme and oregano on the performance, blood parameters and immune response of broiler chicks during the initial period. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 700 male broiler chickens Arian strain with seven treatments including: control (basal diet), basal diet Contains 150 mg / kg antibiotic aviamycin, basal diet containing 100 mg / kg of protoxin, basal diet containing 5 and 7.5 g / kg powdered thyme, basal diet containing 5 and 7.5 g per kg of oregano powder, Four replicates and 25 chicks per replicate for 21 days. The results showed that body weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not affected by different treatments (p> 0.05). Total protein, albumin, globulin, cholesterol and plasma triglyceride were affected by experimental treatments (p <0.05). Control treatment had the lowest level of alkaline phosphatase, which was significantly different with other treatments (p <0.05). The highest level of calcium and phosphorus was observed in probiotic treatment and the lowest in control treatment (p <0.05). The use of different additives did not affect immune response against red blood cells in sheep (p >0.05). In general, the results showed that the addition of powdered thyme and oregano did not affect performance and immune response during the initial period, but lead to improved blood parameters. | ||
