In this study, 15 days old 50 male broiler chickens were randomly divided into five treatment groups in the five replication of 2 chickens. Combination of citric acid -dextrose in drinking water could increase the percent yield of broiler carcasses and increased villi of duodenum and jejunum, but could not increase the ileal villi of broilers.
