The current trial was carried out to determine the influence of supplemental humates including humic, fulvic and ulmic acids and some microminerals on the performance and carcass traits of broilers. A study was conducted with total 240 male broiler chicks (Ross-308), received from a commercial hatchery at 1 day of age. Chicks were allocated to four dietary treatments (H , H , H and H groups) as completely 0 1 2 3 randomized experimental design . Feed and water were offered for ad libitum consumption and lightening was continuous throughout experimental period. A basal diet (H ), basal diet plus 0.10 (H ), 0.20 (H ) and 0 1 2 0.30 % (H ) humate (Farmagulator DRY , Humate, Farmavet International Inc., Kocaeli 41400, Turkey) were 3 TM 0 1 2 3 difference was not significant. Average daily weight gains were 51.8, 49.8, 52.9 and 49.9 g, respectively, and the supplementation had statistically no significant effect on this parameter. Daily feed consumptions were 103.2, 95.6, 104.4 and 98.6 g and the difference between control and treatment groups was significant (P<0.05). FCR values were 1.87, 1.84, 1.86 and 1.85. At the end of the trial, hot carcass weights and yields were 1874, 1913, 1912 and 1884 g and 75.78, 75.51, 75.55 and 75.55 %, and difference was not significant. There was no different in offal weights. Abdominal fat pad weights were found to be 35.5, 40.33, 40.0 and 32.16 g, respectively. Difference among the groups in terms of abdominal fat weights was not statistically significant. The mortality was 1.8, 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 % for H, H , H and H and there was no significan t 0 1 2 3 different among the groups. In conclusion, although humate supplementation to diets of broilers had no effect on performance, slaughter and carcass characteristics, a slightly improvement was observed in FCR for H group fed with diet containing 0.1 % humate. In addition, it was not observed dead chick in humate 1 groups while 1.8 % of mortality in control group.
