Abstract The present study was investigated artichoke extract in drinking water on performance, carcass characteristics and some blood parameters concentrationssuch as Triglyceride, Cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) in broiler chickens. Experiment wasused by randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 200 broiler chickens consisted of 5 treatments 0, 100, 200, 300 and 500 milligrams artichoke extract per water liter at four replicates per treatment and 10 chickens per replication during 21-35 days of age. Artichoke extract had any significant effect on feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ration and carcass characteristics. Artichoke extract had any significant effect on the blood parameters in broiler chickens during 35 day of age. It can be concluded that inclusion extract of artichoke up to 500 milligrams per liter has no beneficial consequences on performance and blood serum fat constituents.
