Fed chicken diets identical in protein and energy content, where the experimental treatments as follows: treatment first (treatment-free control of the additions), the second treatment, and the third (Add crushed mint leaves 2% and 3%on followings), the fourth, and five treatment (Add powdered seeds cumin 2% and 3% on followings). The results showed no significant differences the overall rate of egg production on the basis of H.D%, egg weight, egg mass and feed consumption during the first and third period of the production periods, The results showed that the addition treatments gave significant improvement in most productive traits during the second production period as compared with control treatment., results also indicated that there were significant differences between experimental treatments in feed conversion ratio during the third production period of the study, where the birds of treatment T5 (adding cumin seeds powder 3%) recorded best feed conversion coefficient during the third period as compared with treatments | ||
