This study was conducted to investigate, effects of diets supplemented with methionine and/or garlic powder on performance and carcass composition of broiler chickens. 540 day-old broiler chicks in a completely randomized design with 3´3 factorial arrangement (9 treatments and 4 replication) were fed with different levels of methionine including basal diet (without methionine addition), diet containing methionine recommended by NRC as well as 135% NRC, and different levels of antibiotic. Chicken in 52 days of age were slaughtered and their carcass were analyzed. Addition of methionine at 135% NRC level in diets increased breasts muscle weight(P<0.01). Diets supplemented with garlic powder resulted in significantly high breast muscle weight as compared with negative control(P<0.05). Diets supplemented with Garlic powder leads to significant decrease in abdominal fat pad.Methionine ´ antibiotic interaction in BD+Met+GAR showed highest and BD+GAR appeared with lowest abdominal fat pad (P<0.05).Methionine antibiotic interaction resulted as lowest tight muscle weight (P<0.05). In conclusion results from present study demonstrated that beneficial effects of methionine and/or garlic powder for improvement of broiler carcass quality.
