English Abstract

In an experiment the effect of funnel and licorice on performance and carcass characteristics of broiler were investigated.

Experimental groups were consisted of 1- Basal diet without any additives (Control -), 2- Basal diet + 2.5 g / Kg funnel, 3- Basal diet + 5 g / Kg, 4- Basal diet + 2.5 g / Kg licorice, 5- Basal diet + 2.5 g / Kg licorice and 6- Basal diet+ Antibiotic growth promoter.

In the experimental periods, feed intake, body weight, livability, feed conversion was measured.

At the end of the experiment carcass percentage, breast (%), leg and abdominal fat, and some of intestinal organs weight were measured with 6 birds (3 male and 3 female) from each pen.

In this experiment, Maximin, Equally likely averaging, and weighted averaging were used to choosing a ground herbal plant for antibiotic growth promoter’s substitution.

Based on this methods, using 2.5 g / Kg licorice in broiler diet in comparison to other groups had a best score in three muticriteriadecision analysis, so we could say it can be used a safe feed additives for improving broiler performance.
