Summary:The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of using tomato waste juice (TWJ) as a source of antioxidants for broiler chickens. The study used 160 day-old-chicks Lohmann MB-202 broiler strains with an average body weight of 43.5+1.23 g which were randomly allotted to one of four treatment groups. The chicks were provided either with no TWJ (TWJ0), 40 (TWJ40), 80 (TWJ80) or 120 mL/day of TWJ (TWJ120) from days 15 to 35. The blood, internal organs and intestinal digesta were collected at day 35. The results showed that provision of TWJ increased (P<0.05) the relative weight of thymus, duodenum, jejunum, caecum and liver of broilers. The treatment, however, did not affect (P>0.05) growth performance, blood profile and ileal and caecal microbial populations. In conclusion, TWJ could be used as an antioxidant source to maintain the normal health and internal organ development of broiler chicks.
