The experimental treatments included: 1) control (no additives), 2) antibiotic Virginiamycin (15 ppm), 3) organic acid (0.2% Formaycin), and 4) Nanocid (50 ppm). The antibiotic growth promoter group benefited from the highest final average weight (P UR - https://ijas.ut.ac.ir/article_36153.html L1 - https://ijas.ut.ac.ir/article_36153_6ab95b6a6c3761bd1d180b2ad2d5f1ec.pdf ER -
