The effect of herbal extract mixture (Digestarom) supplementation to diets on duodenum and ileum histology in broiler chickens

Phytogenic feed additives are used as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and performance enhancer in the nutrition of broiler chicks. In present study, it was aimed to investigate effects usage phytogenic which an alternative antibiotics broilers at different levels rations, on morphology duodenum ileum. For this purpose, 48 male ROSS-308 one-day-old chicks were study. Chicks with a body weight 43±3 g randomly divided into 24 replicate sets from three experimental groups, each consisted 8 replicates (2 per house). The other two groups fed basal diet supplemented 100 mg/kg (DIG100) 150 (DIG150) product Digestarom®. conclusion, determined that herbal extract mixture supplementation chick rations generally increased villus height width, decreased tunica muscularis thickness. Hence, might lead better digestion absorption by increasing intestinal surface area, levels, also increase gain reducing microbial load.
