Abstract
The dried ripe fruits of the plants from Apiaceae family are used in folk medicine for treating digestive disorders. They can be used in veterinary and animal production, especially poultry, as immunostimulants and as natural antibiotics. Plants from Apiaceae family improve performance parameters of poultry and can be used for prevention of diseases. This article is a review of present literature data on the usage of caraway, anise, coriander and fennel in broiler chickens and Japanese quail nutrition and their mode of action and effects on production performance, blood parameters, cholesterol and fatty acids profile.

The dried ripe fruits of the plants from Apiaceae family are used in folk medicine especially in the treatment of digestive disorders
According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that feed conversion ratio is most efficient in diet supplemented with 1.0 g/kg, while antibody titer against avian influenza virus increased in the group treated with 10.0 g/kg. These results suggested that the dietary inclusion of 10.0 g/kg of anise seed can be applied as an alternative to in-feed antibiotics for broiler diets (Yazdi et al, 2014)
Experiments were done with different levels of anise oil (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) added to a standard diet, in order to determine its effect on feed intake, daily live weight gain and feed conversion ratio compared with control and antibiotic group
