The purpose of our researches consists in evaluating the effect of the acidulant Agrocid super on the main productive indices of meat chickens. The investigations were conducted on 2 groups of chickens (a control group and an experimental group, each of 28,560 Ros-308 broiler chickens, during a period of 50 days). The preparation Agrocid super, containing organic acids (acetic, lactic, propionic and formic acids) was administered in drinking water at a concentration of 0.5 g/l in the first days of life, at the age of 10 15; 26 - 31 days and in the last week before slaughtering (45-50 days). The analysis of the obtained results showed the following findings: reduced morbidity of chickens from the experimental group - 8% compared to 10.7% (control group). The lethality rate constituted 4.94% (experimental group) and 5.2% (control group). At the age of 42 days the chickens which received acidulant reached a body weight by 80g higher compared to control group. Also, some hematological and biochemical indices tended to increase because of the intensification of metabolic processes.
