Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the effects of sumac, yeast, and onion supplementation to broiler chicken feeds on performance. Four hundred and fifty, one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were obtained from Yagoo Group Hatchery in Sulaymaniyah Province and were randomly distributed into three treatment groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(150 chicks for each group); with six replicates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(each 25 chicks);. Chicks were raised on floor cages insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(210 × 200 × 100 cm);. T1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Feed with 0 mg kg-1 sumac, yeast, and onion);, T2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Feed with 10, 2 and 20 mg kg-1 sumac, yeast, and onion for every day); and T3 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Feed with 10, 2 and 20 mg kg-1 sumac, yeast, and onion for 2 days added and 2 days free in the rearing period); experiment groups were constituted. In the study, the effects of the treatments on the performance parameters were found to be statistically significant. In body weight, the highest group in terms of total body weght gain and total feed intake was T3, and it was significantly higher than T2 and control groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. Again, T2 was found to be significantly higher in terms of these parameters compared to the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. In total, the feed conversion rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FCR); was found to be statistically significant. While T3 had a similar FCR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.50); to the control group, it was significantly lower insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); compared to T2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.68);. In general, the treatments were found to have a positive effect on performance parameters.
