Abstract

In current experiment, to evaluate and compare the efficacy of ethanolic extractions of Thyme and Rosemary on performance, blood biochemical parameters and intestinal morphology of broilers encountered with aflatoxicosis, 300 day-old Ross 308 were employed in completely randomized design manner having 4 treatments of 1) Negative control (basal diet), 2) positive control (basal diet contaminated with 600ppb AFB1), 3) negative control with herbal additives (basal diet along with mixture of ethanolic extraction of Thyme and Rosemary, each for 500ppm) and 4) positive control with herbal additives (basal diet along with 600ppb AFB1 and mixture of ethanolic extraction of Thyme and Rosemary, each for 500ppm), with 5 replicates and 15 chicks each. Result showed that inclusion of 1000ppm of ethanolic extraction of Thyme and Rosemary mixture in broiler diets faced with chronic aflatoxicosis significantly (P<0.05) increased the body weight, villus height and HDL and significantly (P<0.05) reduced the feed conversion ratio, mortality, number of goblet cells in intestine, ALT, GGT, ALP and LDL.
