As a result of antibiotic resistance in human pathogenic bacteria, alternatives for Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) have been developed in recent years. Herbs and botanicals can be seen as such an alternative (WENK, 2003). Essential oils derived from different plants have been tested over the years to identify their effects on animal performance. Essential oil extracts from Oregano, with its ...

The effects of some alternative feed additives for antibiotic growth promoters on performance and some slaughter characteristics were examined in broilers fed wheat-soya based basal starter and finisher diets. A total of 2160 one-day-old male broiler chicks were randomly allocated to six groups with six replicate pens per treatment. The treatments were the basal diet (Control), and the basal di...
