This paper presents the researches performed on 2 groups of 20000 broiler chickens - a control group and an experimental group in order to assess the effect of NOACK AC PD2 product containing organic acids(acetic,lactic, propionic and formic acids). The product was administered in chickens’ feed at a concentration of 3 kg/t during their entire lifetime 42 days - till the slaughter. As a result, it was noticed a reduced chicken morbidity of 6% in the experimental group compared with 11.6% in the control group; and the lethality rate amounted to 1.9% in the experimental group and 2.7% in the control group. At the end of experiments the body weight of chickens from the experimental group was by 110 g higher than the weight of the chickens from the control group (p0,001). The investigated biochemical indices of the broiler chickens from the experimental group recorded an increasing trend.
