Then the rate of growth of all groupscontrol and e4perimentnl exhibited nearly the same valueexperiment (Seventh weeks) the some group, which offered.cabbage show2d El lighter weight than 0.11 groups.2- Ooncerning food consumption, chioken~ whioh receivedcabbage consumed lesser mnount of food them. the group which reGe~ved onion, and the control group. Cn theother hand chickens whioh receivoQ garlic consumed gre- ater amount of food~- Haemoglobin cOntent did not differ significantly in all t4e gro~p.s during the whole period ef rearing.
