The experiment involved 210 Ross broiler chickens raised in cages till 42 day of age. The experimental chickens were fed mixtures with 2 percent addition of alternatively used herbs: hops cone, linden, melissa, pansy, mint and nettle. In the control group an antibiotic was applied. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of antibiotic substitution with herbs on: weight, chemical composition, total cholesterol level, triacyglycerol, ASAT and ALAT activity in liver. The presence of herbs in mixtures influenced positively broilers body and liver weight. The used herbs increased a content of dry matter, protein and ether extract, but decreased - crude ash in liver. The level of total cholesterol and triacyloglycerol in chickens livers fed mixtures with herbs were higher. The activity of ASAT increased, but ALAT decreased
