Abstract
Targeted research study the effect of adding 1.5% of the powder mint broiler to the diets of different lengths on biochemical characteristics. One hundred sixty chick broiler (Hubbard) day-old divided into four treatment 40 chick each treatment with two replicate 20 bird for each were fed ration as follows: T1: fed basic diet with added 1.5% mint powder to starter ration (for 3 weeks). T2: fed basic diet with added 1.5% mint powder to starter and finisher ration (for 6 weeks). T3: fed basic diet with added 1.5% mint powder to finisher ration (for 3 weeks). T4: control treatment was fed the basic diet without additions. After the trial period 6 weeks result reveled significantly higher (P≤0.05) in the concentration of GOT enzyme in the serum of treatment T1,T3 compared with T2,T4 as well as more than treatment T3 was significantly (P≤0.05) compared with treatment T1,T2,T4 in the GPT concentration in serum, and the superiority of the two treatment T2,T3 was significantly (P≤0.05) compared to treatment T1,T4 in concentration of ALP enzyme in serum. About mortality percentage results showed significantly decrease (P≤0.05) in treatment T2 compared therefore concluded that the addition of mint powder by 1.5 % to the diet of different period improved some biochemical and reduced mortality rate by fed the mint powder throughout the study
