Abstract: The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of phytocompositions of chamomile and eucalyptus extracts on the productivity and physiological status of ROSS-308 broiler chickens. With the beginning of the main period of experience (from the daily age), the conditions of keeping and feeding for the groups were the same, but chickens of the experimental groups, in addition to the main diet, were administered orally different doses of a phytocomposition based on chamomile and eucalyptus extracts. At the end of the experimental tests, compared to the control group, the average live weight at the end of the experiment was 7.1 % higher in experimental group I, 7.2 % higher in experimental group II, and 9.5 % higher in experimental group III (P < 0.05). The average daily increase was 7.2 % higher in experimental group I, 7.3 % higher in experimental group II, and 9.6 % higher in experimental group III (P < 0.05). We recorded an increase in the number of red blood cells in the first experimental group by 23 % (P < 0.05), in experimental group II by 26 % (P < 0.01), in experimental group III by 34.3 % (P < 0.01), white blood cell count decreased in experimental group I by 17.0 % (P < 0.05), in experimental group II by 13.4 % (P < 0.05), in experimental group III by 14.4 % (P < 0.05), the amount of total protein significantly increased in the III experimental group by 16.6 % (P < 0.05) compared to the control. The use of phytocomposition based on extracts of medicinal plants to increase the productivity of farm animals and poultry is an urgent problem. For the first time, the effect of various combinations of chamomile and eucalyptus extracts on the productivity and morphobiochemical status of broiler chickens was evaluated. One proposes optimal doses of the above fodder ingredients introduction into their rations.
