Abstract

Oregano essential oil (Lippia berlandieri Schauer) in diets to broilers was evaluated on breast quality. 162 one-day-old Ross broilers were distributed in nine treatments (diets), represented by the combination of OC (carvacrol 60%) and OT (40% thymol); each essential oil consisted of 0, 400 and 800 mg/kg. Treatments (OC + OT) were: T1 0 + 0, T2 400 + 0, T3 800 + 0, T4 0 + 400, T5 400 + 400, T6 800 + 400, T7 0 + 800, T8 400 + 800, and T9 800 + 800. The quality of chicken breast was affected (P<0.05) by the oil of oregano. T7 decreased pH and increased water retention, T3 reduced the electrical conductivity. T9 increased brightness and tendency to yellow. T6 improved humidity and decreased ashes; T3 increased protein and T8 increased fat.
