The study objective was to examine the effect of the addition of different concentrations of a mixture of three plants (garlic, mint
and rosemary) in the diet of broiler chickens on production and slaughter results. The mixture was formed by grinding plants
after drying and mixing them in a ratio of 1: 1: 1. The experiment was performed on 600 chickens divided into 4 groups with 3
replicates per group. The chickens were fed at will and the composition of the diet differed only in the amount of added mixture.
No mixture was added in control group (C). Group MIX-I chickens consumed a diet supplemented with 0.25% of the mixture,
group MIX-II diet contained 0.5% of the mixture supplement, while group MIX-III broilers received 0.75% of the mixture in their
diet. At the end of the experimental period, at the age of 42 days, the body weight of the chickens was measured. Mortality, feed
conversion and EPEF were determined. At the end of the experiment, 12 chickens (6 males and 6 females...) were sacrificed by
random sampling from each group in order to determine slaughter results. The obtained results showed that the use of the
mixture of three plants had a positive effect on the production parameters. MIX-II group chickens had significantly higher
(p<0.01) body weights, better feed conversion and significantly higher (p<0.01) EPEF values compared with C group. No
significant differences in slaughter performances were found.
