abstract = {The aim of this study was to confirm the effects of
the product HUMAC Natur (humic acid source) supplemented to broiler feed during 39 days of fattening on the;
final body weight, carcass yield and percentage of the carcasses. Eighty broilers COBB 500 included in the experiment were fed commercial diet. Humic acids were added
to the feed of experimental broilers (n=40) as a 0.6%
concentrate, from the first day of fattening. On day 39
of fattening, the mean body weight of the experimental
broilers was lower (2498.0±244.6g) in comparison to the
control (2535.0±268.2g) (P>0.05). The addition of the
humic acid product to feed as a 0.6% concentrate affected
positively the carcass yield (P<0.05), but had no significant positive effect on the live body weight (P>0.05). The
mean weight of the breast and thigh muscles in the experimental and control groups was comparable.},
