Özet
The purpose of this study was to determine, the effects of dry strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) leaves (SL) powder on growth performance, mortality rate and body components of broiler chicks. In total, 144 mixed sex male and female broiler chicks (1-d old) were used and divided into four treatment groups; 0 (control), 5, 10 and 20 g SL were added to per kg basal diet. Body weight and feed intake were recorded weekly and daily gain and feed conversion ratio were calculated weekly. Forty two days old broiler chick were humanly slaughtered to determine the possible changes in daily gain, body components and morphological changes in digestive parts. The results showed that SL had no effect on growth performance, body components and digestive parts in broiler chicks (P>0.05) with respect to any beneficial and detrimental effects, suggesting that SL powders can be used in broiler diets.
