Recently, the poultry industry began to face multi-resistant germs against antibiotics. Therefore, the search of new plant molecules to solve the issue of multi-resistant germs in poultry as an alternative to antibiotics is an imperative. THOS, the aqueous extract of the inflorescence of Thonningia sanguinea revealed efficient antimicrobial, anti-coccidiosis, anti-salmonellosis and antioxidant activity in laying hens. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of THOS on carcass characteristics and on some physicochemical parameters of laying hens pectoral and thigh muscles. For this purpose, 220 Isa Brown one day aged hens were breed in standard condition till 18 weeks old (1113?90g lively mass). Then hens were randomly divided into two (02) groups of 110 hens each. Hens of group II (treated group) received THOS at a rate of 10g/L of water for a week (07 days) while hens of group I (control group) received only water without any additives. At 72 weeks old, six hens were euthanized in each group. Carcass characteristics, post mortem pH, pectoral and thigh meat color, drip loss, cooking loss, moisture, ashes and total mineral rate were evaluated. THOS didn?t affect the major carcass characteristics but significantly increased gizzard weight (32?1.14 vs 25?1.6g; p<0.01) and reduced abdominal fat weight (42?14 vs 65?15 g) as compare to control group. pHpm; drip loss; cooking loss; moisture and ash were not significantly affected by THOS. In the other hand, THOS significantly reduced the redness (a*) of pectoralis major and minor muscles when compared to control group (4.6?0.08 vs 5.2?0.11; p<0.05). The rate of total mineral of thigh muscle was also significantly enhanced by THOS (4.62?0.12 vs 4.16?0.07 g/100g; p<0.05). These results reveal that the use of THOS against multi-resistant germs in poultry could also help enhanced poultry meat quality.
