Abstract
A total of 135 day old male broiler chicks of a commercial strain (Cobb) were raised to determine the effects of diet with phytogenic feed additive (PFA) on production performance. The birds were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments: Standard Broiler Diet (SBD Control), SBD + Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate (SBD+BMD) and SBD + Phytogenic Feed Additive (SBD +PFA). Each treatment has three replications with 15 birds per replicate.
Results of the study revealed that feeding diet with PFA did not significantly affect overall production performance, and carcass yield (P>0.05) of the broilers and income over feed costs. Similarly, feeding diet with BMD did not affect overall production performance and carcass yield of broilers.
