Coriander contains useful compounds such as linalool, camphor, and alpha-pinene, which have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. These compounds can help improve digestive function and strengthen the immune system of livestock and poultry. Also, coriander can help increase appetite and improve feed-to-weight ratio. Coriander is a kind of bird body disinfectant that helps in digestion of food in the body and elimination in breeding birds and aims to strengthen the sexual powers in animals. This plant has strong effects against pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens. Coriander seed powder can be used as a natural alternative to synthetic antibiotics and growth promoters in poultry feed.
The effect of coriander on poultry performance
Improving carcass percentage and increasing body weight with 1.5% coriander powder in broiler diet (positive effects with 1-3%)

Increasing the weight of broiler chickens, improving the conversion factor and improving the meat (significant reduction in belly fat level) with about 1 to 2.5 grams of coriander in the diet of broiler chickens (cost reduction and significant increase in production profit)
The highest weight gain, the best feed conversion ratio, the highest carcass yield and liver weight, and the lowest percentage of abdominal fat and cholesterol with the diet of 2% coriander seeds
1% coriander seed diet has better performance than the control diet with 0.5% antibiotic
Reduction of glucose concentration in broilers with coriander extract in water
