The effect of aromatic plants on rearing conditions and the quality of produced products in poultry farming

Abstract

This research examines the possible advantages of using fragrant herbs, such as lavender, mint, thyme, oregano, and chamomile, into chicken farming methods. Aromatic herbs have several benefits such as stress reduction, illness control, enhanced digestion, and insect repellency for hens. These advantages help to the establishment of a more sustainable and ecologically-friendly environment for chicken farming. The research explores the use of aromatic plants in several ways, including incorporating them into the birds' diet, offering them access to fresh herbs for foraging, or utilizing their essential oils for cleaning and scenting chicken buildings. The text highlights the significance of exercising prudence and restraint in the process of incorporating anything new, in order to prevent any negative consequences and maintain adherence to regulatory guidelines. Incorporating aromatic plants into poultry farming has the potential to improve the well-being and productivity of hens, while also satisfying the increasing demand for poultry products that are produced ethically and in an ecologically sustainable manner. It is advisable to do more study and implement these natural cures in order to improve poultry farming methods.
