The effect of organic acids was evaluated in broiler chickens on their carcass characteristics. Birds were divided into seven groups. In the control group, birds were fed diets without any acids (T1) while same diet of experimental groups were supplemented with 2; butyric acid (T2), 3; butyric acid (T4), 2; fumaric acid (T4), 3; fumaric acid (T5), 2; lactic acid (T6) and 3; lactic acid (T7). The body weight gains were improved (p0.05) by dietary supplementation of organic acids when compared with the control. Use of organic acids had no significant (p0.05) effect on carcass characteristics of broiler chicken except length and weight of small intestine which were significantly (p0.05) increased as compared to control.
