Effect of Cinnamomun cassia, Origanum vulgare and Capsicum annuum extracts in first period on performance, carcass characteristics and blood parameters of Broiler chickens

Abstract

Introduction: This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of use of the blend of medicinal plants extract in starter (1-10 days) on performance, carcass characteristics, weight of internal organs and blood parameters at the end period (42days) broiler chickens.
Materials & Methods: Experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments, 4 replications and 8 chicken in each replication. The experiment treatments included: (T1) Control diet, (T2) Control diet+50 g/ton blend of medicinal plants Extract, (T3) Control diet+100 g/ton blend of medicinal plants Extract and (T4) Control diet+200 g/ton blend of medicinal plants Extract.
Result: Using of medicinal plants extract caused a significant increase in body weight of broilers compared to the control treatment (P<0.05). The results showed that the relative weight breasts and wings treatments received 100 and 200 and relative weight pancreas
and heart by 100 g/ton blend of medicinal plants extract were Increased significantly (P<0.05). Blend of medicinal plants extract significantly reduces cholesterol and increases HDL in blood serum (P<0.05). Globulin, urea, protein, glucose, and serum albumin in broilers were not affected by experimental treatments (P>0.05). While 100 g/ton of blend of medicinal plants extract significant increased creatinine (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study can conclude that the use of 100 g/ton blend of medicinal plants extract at the first of the can have beneficial effects on the internal organs weight, broiler performance and blood parameters period.
