Short summary
For safety about meat origin, the supplementation of feed with natural phytogenic additives appears to be very promising. The aim of the study was to evaluate effects of dietary inclusion of the wormwood herb (WH) on performance and meat quality of broilers. As a result, WH dietary supplementation influenced predominantly proteosynthesis of broilers, while their final live weight and carcass composition, as well as respective traits of meat quality, were not negatively affected.
