For determination the effect of lemon pulp levels and organic acid premix (globacid) on performance, carcass traits,immune system, biochemical parameters and intestinal morphology of broilers, 288 Ross broilers were used in 3×2 factorial arrangement with three levels of lemon pulp (0, 1.5 and 3 percent) and two levels of globacid (0 and 0.1 percent) in a completely randomized design with six treatments, four replicates and 12 birds per each replicate from 10 to 42 days of age. Feeding birds with diets cantaining lemon pulp and organic acid premix increased the amount of weight gain and final live weight (P<0.05). Lemon pulp and organic acid had not effect on carcass traits, whereas the thigh percentage increased in bidrs fed on diet containing lemon pulp (P<0.05). Using three percent lemon pulp and lemon pulp with organic acid premix increased cripts depth of jejenum (P<0.05). Dietary lemon pulp and organic acids had not significant effects on immune level and biochemical parameters. It could be concluded that using lemon pulp up to 3 and 0.1 percent organicof acid improve performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broiler chicks

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using different levels of thyme (Thymusvulgaris L.) medicinal plant and multi enzyme (Kemine) on performance and blood biochemicalparameters of Japanese quails with 240 laying bird (6 up to 12 weeks) as a 2*2 factorial include twolevels of thyme (0 and 0.75 percent) and 2 levels of Kemine enzyme (0 and 0.05 percent) in fourtreatments, 4 replicates and 15 laying quails in each replicate in a completely randomized design.Interaction between thyme and enzyme did not have any significant effects on egg productionperformance. Whereas egg weight in birds who consume thyme, was high (P<0.05) and amounts of blooduric acid and eggshell thickness in birds who received enzyme and thyme in diets, increased (P<0.05).The overall results indicated that using enzyme and thyme in Japanese quails diets can be have positiveeffects on egg weight and eggshell thickness.
