Sixty one-day-old commercial broiler chicks (ROSS 308) were used in our experiment, divided into 3 groups, and fed 41 days, as follows: control (K) was fed with standard diet without supplementation of plants; second group (M) was fed with standard diet supplemented with grounded lemon balm in concentration 2 % per 1 kg; and third group was fed with standard diet supplemented with grounded yarrow (2 %) and hawthorn (1 %). Results showed that supplementation with lemon balm, and mainly combination of yarrow and hawthorn in the diet significantly caused reduction of lipid oxidation processes in thigh meat during chilling storage of samples. In addition, supplementation of plants in the diet had positive effect on sensory quality of meat of broiler chickens. </p>}, number={3}, journal={Potravinarstvo Slovak Journal of Food Sciences}, author={Marcinčák, Slavomí­r and Popelka, Peter and Šimková, Jana and Marcinčáková, Dana and Martonová, Mária}, year={2010}, month={Jun.}, pages={46–49} }
