A 35-d trial was conducted to study the effect of phytogenic additives on growth performance and cecal bacterial populations of broilers. The feeding program consisted of a starter diet until 21-d and a grower diet until 35-d. There were 4 treatment groups: control, 50g EO (essential oil)/ ton, 100g EO/ton and 150g EO/ton. Slight non significant improvements have been observed for body weight, weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio in the starter stage when birds fed diets contained 50g EO/ton. In both grower stage and through out the entire period of growth study no differences in growth parameters have been observed when birds fed diets contained 100g EO/ton and those fed the control diet.
