Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary garlic powder addition on productive performance and blood lipid status of broiler chicken. At the beginning of experiment, three treatments of 150 one day old broiler chickens of hybrid line Hubbard per treatment, on a total of 450 chickens were formed. Every treatment was divided in four groups which represents four replicates of the experiment. Control treatment (T1) was fed with mixtures without addition of garlic powder, while experimental treatments were fed with addition of 0.5% (T2) and 1.0 % (T3) of dietary garlic powder, respectively. Experiment lasted 42 days. After the completion of experimental period the highest achieved body weight of chicken was at treatment T2 (2371.1g) which was followed by treatment T3 (2336.1 g) with statistically significant differences (p0.05) differences. Addition of garlic powder led to a statistically significant (p
