Abstract

Six hundred and thirty straight-run, day-old Arbor Acres chicks were randomly assigned to 6 experimental treatments which consisted of control; effective microorganism (EM); EM and Andrographis paniculata Nees. extract; EM, Andrographis paniculata Nees. and mixed fruits extract; EM and Clinacanthus nutans (Burm. f.) extract and EM, Clinacanthus nutans (Burm. f.) and mixed fruits extract supplemented in drinking water. Results of 7-week experiment showed that there was significant effect of EM and microbial medicinal plant extract on some production performance and carcass traits but no significant effect on nutritive value of meat of broiler.
