Abstract
The objective of this study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementing herb mixed drinking water on productive performance, carcass quality, and caecal microbial population. One hundred sixty 7 day old chicks were randomly divided into 4 groups of 4 replicates with 10 birds/replicate. Four treatments were: T1; commercial vitamin added to drinking water at 5 g/L (control group), T2 and T3; coriander seed powder added at 5 and 10 g/L of drinking water, respectively, and T4; commercial oregano extract added at 5 g/L of drinking water. All bird groups received commercial feed throughout the experimental period. The results revealed the weight gain of T2 - T4 were higher than the control group (P<0.01). Feed intake, FCR and drinking water consumption were not significantly different between groups (P>0.05). The survival percentage in all groups were not different (P>0.05). T2 had significantly higher returns on investment than the other groups (P<0.01). Although all groups had different carcass quality characteristics (P>0.05), but lactic acid bacteria were significantly more prevalent in the caecal content of T2 - T4 than in the control group (P<0.01).
