Antimicrobial compounds have been used for decades in poultry diets to increase performance and decrease morbidity particularly in broiler chickens. However, consumer pressure related to the potential development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has resulted in the development of non-antibiotic feed additives that may also improve broiler erformance. In recent years, aromatic plants and their extracts have received attention as growth and health promoters. Such products have several advantages over commonly used commercial antibiotics since they are residue free and they are also, generally recognized as safe and commonly used items in the food industry. The antimicrobial properties of medical plants and their extracts have been widely reported because they consist of many active ompounds such as carvacrol, eugenol,which partition lipids in the bacterial cell wall and mitochondria, disturbing the structures and rendering them more permeable. Generally,medical plants are slightly more active against Gram-positive than Gramnegative bacteria. Medical plants are well known for their antioxidant activity and show a considerable effect on increasing the antioxidant capacity of chicken meat because they consist of many of active compounds such as tocopherol, carvacrol. Spices or their active principles have been reported to stimulate digestive secretions such as lipase, amylase and proteases.because they consist of many active compounds such as anothol, eugenol. Variable effects of medical plants and their extracts on the productive performance of broiler have been reported. The majority of experimental results indicate improved body weight gain or final body weight and feed conversion ratio.

This research carried out in the Video Center for Research on Animal Production of the Faculty of Agriculture at Tishreen University with the beginning of the summer of 2010 in order to study the possibility of improving the performance of broiler chickens under the conditions of the coastal area and increase economic returns. Search Results showed that the addition of black bean and thyme powder by 0.5% to a low-energy diet led to increased average live weight of age (9-28) days totaled 864.9 g G3)) compared to the control (without the addition), which amounted to an average live weight has 850.7) g) of the same age FCR feed conversion ratio stood at 2.63 at the group G1, compared with 1.89 when the Control CSearch results also showed that the addition of 0.25% of the black bean and thyme powder led to the live weight increase of 848.6, compared with 670.7 members G1) g) FCR feed conversion ratio stood at 1.96 at the G4 Group added (0.25% of the black bean powder and thyme), compared with 2.63 at the G1 group.
An experiment was carried out using 120 unsexed chicks of a commercial broiler breed taken from a hatchery nearby the farm of the experiment. When the chicks started to hatch the chicks were collected without the need to complete the operation of hatching to ensure that the hatching chicks were hatched at the same time. The chicks were distributed into four groups of each group divid into 6 sub groups each sub group contains 5 chicks. The chicks were fed different diets.
The research was carried out on (960) broiler chicks of the hybrid Hibrd in the Poultry Unite of Kharabo–Agriculture Faculty–Damascus University, during 27/10/2003 and 23/12/2003. The chicks were distributed randomly since the first day of age int o four experimental groups, every group contained 240 chicks distributed as four replicates, every replication contained 60 chicks, the area of the replication was 5.5m2 and the density was 11 chicks/m2. Every replication is an independent sector from byre is open type on deep litter, all conditions of keeping and caring were the same for all birds of replications. The purpose of research was to study of effect of using different levels of the energy and raw protein into mixtures of (pre-starter) since the first day until sixth day of age on absorption of yolk sac, growth of digestive system ,and some productive parameters of broiler. 48 chicks were dissected, the chicks were distributed as 16 chicks in the first day and 16 chicks in the fourth day and 16 chicks in the sixth day of age, from every group 4chicks were evaluated.
The current investigation was conducted to study some productive properties( body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass composition, and carcass cuts ) on some broiler strains in Syria ( Ross, Hubbard, and Shefer ).
The study was carried out at the experimental station, Faculty of Agriculture. Damascus University. 1464 of the hybrid Lohman broiler chicks, one day old, were divided randomly and equally into 8 groups (182 chicks/ G) with 3 replicates of 61 chic ks each. Chicks in each replicate were reared separately on deep litter in an independent room of open housing till the age of 42 days. All housing and management procedures were similar for all chicks while the feeding was different throughout the fattening period in terms of the amounts of lysine and methionine added to the mix feed. Chicks of G1, G2, G3 and G4 were fed on plants mixtures supplemented with 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 kg/ ton of methionine, respectively. Chicks in G5, G6, G7 and G8 were fed on the same mixtures of the previous groups but supplemented additionally with 1kg/ton of lysine. Result showed that adding lysine 1kg/ton and methionine 2kg/ton to plant mixtures of feeds of broiler helped in improving significantly most of the indicators of productivity and this in turn led to a reduction of the cost of feeding and to produce 1 kg live weight, thereby raising the index profit from the process of fattening and increasing the gain from fattening process.
