Impact of supplementation three types of vegetable in broiler diet on chicken meat: production properties

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the effect of dietary additive consisting out of parsley, celery and cress on quantity and quality properties of meat from broiler chickens. At fourteen-day old, 100 broilers were divided equally on floor pens into 4groups. Treatments are dividing as C (control): without any additive to diet using stander diet, T1: using basal diet plus 10 gm parsley/kg of diet, T2: using basal diet plus 10 gm celery/kg of diet, and T3: using basal diet plus 10 gm cress/kg of diet. At the end of this experiment, broilers were (5/group) were slaughtered and the caresses were dissected, then the portions were weighted. Broilers had a significant effect (P≤0.05) on performance, with high percentages recorded across all groups fed with parsley, celery, and cress as feed additives, showing a notable improvement (P≤0.05). Using these plants in feed is economically beneficial, as they contribute to faster weight gain within a shorter breeding period and result in improved feed conversion ratio.
