Abstract: In response to global restrictions on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in animal production, phytogenic feed additives have emerged as promising alternatives.This study evaluates the efficacy of Ganorich-a proprietary herbal blend of garlic (Allium sativum), oregano (Origanum vulgare), and cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.)-on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and immunity in broiler chickens.A total of 240 Cobb 400 broilers were divided into four groups: control and three test groups receiving Ganorich at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 g/kg feed.The trial lasted 42 days.Results showed significant improvement (P < 0.05) in body weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), dressing percentage, and blood biochemical profiles in treated groups, particularly at 1.0 and 1.5 g/ kg inclusion levels.Ganorich supplementation reduced mortality and enhanced total protein, albumin, and white blood cell count, while lowering serum cholesterol.These findings suggest Ganorich as an effective phytogenic feed additive for improving growth and health in broilers.
