Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Macleaya cordata preparation on the performance parameters and carcass characteristics of growing broiler chickens. The experiment was conducted during 35 days of the rearing period, and it involved Ross 308 broiler chickens kept in litter pens. A total of 2 640 sexed birds (50% males and 50% females) were randomly assigned to two treatments with 24 replicates per treatment: negative control (T1) and experimental treatment where diets were supplemented with Macleaya cordata preparation at 15 mg kg-1 feed (T2). No significant impact of diet supplementation with Macleaya cordata preparation on the performance parameters of birds or carcass yield was observed. Our findings indicate that Papaveraceae alkaloids - the active ingredients of the phytogenic preparation Sangrovit® - had no influence on the analyzed parameters or exerted only a minor effect under experimental conditions. A similar test should be carried out under field conditions.
