Abstract

This experiment was conducted in the poultry field of Kusar_Irbil Company, to study the effectof using the local mint leaf powder compared with vitamin C to decrease thermal stress and itseffect on the production performance of the broiler from 23/7/2021 to 2/9/2021. The chicksweight rate (35+3). Chicks were distributed randomly to seven treatments, 4 replicates for eachThe mint leaves powder and vitamin C were added to the diet from the 2 to 6 weeks of age.

T7 mint leaves at a rate of 3g/kg with vitamin25 c mg/kg feed.results showed a there are a significant difference (p<0.05) between the additive treatments,and control in body weight rate, the weight gain, and food conversation between all treatmentsand for T3 in most weeks.
