Popis: A study was conducted to determine the effect of probiotics and thyme essential oil (TEO) as feed additives on the sensory attributes, cooking loss and the texture of broiler chicken meat. Day-old broilers Ross 308 (n=400 chicks) were randomly divided into four groups based on the feed supplement as follows: C-control, E1-probiotics 0.05%, E2-TEO 0.05% and E4-combined, probiotics 5% with TEO 5%, respectively. The fattening period was 42 days. Warner Bratzler shear force, cooking loss and the following sensory attributes (colour, odour, taste, texture, meat decomposing and overall acceptability) were tested. The obtained results of the Warner Bratzler shear force show that there was significant different (p
