The difference between treatment groups in terms of live weight characteristics on days 14, 21 and 28 of broiler chickens was statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p <0.05);. Live weight gain was significantly determined on days 14 th and 28 th insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p <0.05);. Feed conversion ratios were also found to be statistically significant between treatment groups between 1-5 weeks insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p <0.05);.
