Abstract:

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of mixtures of Ruta Graveolen (Ruta chalepensis L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), and basil (Ocimum basilicum) seed extracts in drinking water on productive performance, some blood profiles, egg quality, egg chemical composition, and economic benefit of white leghorn at Haramaya University poultry farm for 8 weeks. One hundred eighty White Leghorns (WL) layer at twenty- six weeks of age were randomly distributed to four treatments, each replicated three times with fifteen layers per replications in a completely randomized design and kept on a deep litter system. The treatment was used water contains mixtures of ruta graveleon (Rg), coriander (C), and basil (B) seed extract 0 ml, 2 ml, 4ml, and 6 ml per liter of water for T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively. The chicken was offered a weighed amount of feed and feed leftover was collected and weighed the next morning. The weight of experimental animals was taken at the beginning and end of the experiment. Data were subjected to analysis of variance for all parameters considered and logistic regression for yolk color. The partial budget analysis was undertaken to evaluate the economic benefits of the different levels of Rg, C, and B seeds extracts in drinking water. Chicken fed T3 had higher (103.23g) feed intake than T2 T1, and T4 with the value of 100.53g, 99.77g, and 98.53g(SEM=0.96) respectively. But statistically similar to T2. The HDEP was significantly (P
