Background & Aim: The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of Salvia mirzayanii (SM) as an antibiotic growth promoter’s alternative on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and some of the immune responses in broiler chickens. Experimental: A total of 192 one-d-old female chicks (Ross 308) were raised in 16 randomly allotted cages. Treatments were as follows: basal diet, basal diet mixed with 4.5 mg flavophospholipol/kg of diet, and basal diet mixed with 5 or 10 g SM leaves powder/kg of diet. Body weights (BW) of broilers were measured at 1, 14, 28 and 42 d of ages to calculate daily weight gain (DWG), daily feed intake (DFI) was also determined and feed conversion ratio (FCR) calculated accordingly. Antibody titers against avian influenza (AI), Newcastle disease (NDV) viruses and sheep red blood cell (SRBC) and albumin to globulin ratio were assessed as immune responses. Results: At 14 d of age, the broilers fed diets containing antibiotic had significantly higher (P<0.05) BW compared to those fed basal diet or basal diet mixed with 10 g SM/kg of diet. BW of broilers at 28 and 42 d of ages were not affected by the dietary treatments although it tended to increase in broilers fed diets containing antibiotic (P>0.05). DFI and FCR were not affected by the dietary treatments (P>0.05). Carcass traits were not affected by the dietary treatments except for relative weight of cecum which increased in broilers fed diets containing 10 g SM/kg (P<0.05). Antibody titers against NDV, AI, and SRBC were not affected by the dietary treatments. Recommended applications/industries: In conclusion, the results indicated that supplementing broiler diet with 5 or 10 g SM leaves/kg of diet couldn’t induce any positive effects on assessed parameters and it’s not a suitable alternative for in-feed antibiotics.
