| Abstract | ||||
| The interest in using medicinal plants as nutritional supplements to broiler diets has increased recently. This review aims to collect the research on the effect of adding Taraxacum officinale on the diet of broilers. The dandelion plant is one of high nutritional value, as it contains many important nutrients, including vitamins, mineral elements and amino acids. In addition it contains many antibiotics, which are considered growth stimulants. Amino acids in broiler nutrition are a key requirement to help birds with growth, immunity and other body functions. It is necessary to find a source of the least expensive amino acids that the bird can consume, and one of these sources is chicory, which is highly available in pastures. It contains large proportions of proteins and vitamins, and contains approximately 16 amino acids, including the essential amino acids arginine, tyrosine, isoleucine, tryptophan, threonine, and valine. Taraxacum officinale helps increase growth rates and helps increase energy levels as well as increasing the nutrition transformation rate. | ||||
