To study the influencing of six medicinal plants mixture including the Trigonella foenum and Foeniculum vulgare seeds, Glycyrrhiza glabra roots, Hypericum perforatum and Achillea millefolium flowered trimmings and Urtica dioica leaves on a fattening performance of young male cattle, an experiment was conducted through the complete randomized design with 4 treatments and 11 replicates (44 young male cattle). Pre-experimental and experimental period were 2 and 4 months respectively. Experimental treatments included control group without any medicinal plants and other 3 treatments containing 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 percent of six medicinal plants mixture. During the experimental period, in the first 10 days of each month, the young male cattle were fed with experimental rations, and in 20 remainder days fed by comon rations without any medicinal plants. The initial mean body weight of young male cattle was 212.5 Kg, and theh final body weight received to 361.5 Kg with 1.2 Kg average daily gain. The young male cattle were weighted every 10 days and average daily gain of them was recorded. Data were analysed through the ANOV A and initial body weight was used as a covariate to covariance analisis .There were not any significant differences between control group with other 3 treatments.(p0.05).
