In an epoch of the growing risk of antibiotic resistance, there is a dire need to establish an
effective novel feeding practice for broiler nutrition as an alternative to antibiotics. Hence, the
aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of clove powder and tulsi extract on the
growth performance, gut morphologic and morphometric indices, and cecal microbial status
of broiler, as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs). Sixty day-old chicks of
Cobb-500 strain were randomly divided into 4 groups, each having 15 birds. Chicks of the …
