Adding aromatic oils (Miarom) in drinking water of broiler breeder was evaluated experimentally of its effect on hatchability percentage, immunity, Lipid profile, and biochemical traits at different laying times (10:00 AM and 02:00 PM). A total of 3600 eggs of broiler breeder (Ross-308) at age 60 weeks, were collected and divided into 5 treatments of different times of egg collection and laying times as follows: (T1: General Control, T2: Control 10:00 AM, T3: Control 02:00 PM, T4: Miarom 10:00 AM and T5: Miarom 02:00 PM). Results indicated the used Miarom from Miavit company - Germany (this extract contains: 200 grams essential oils mixture such as eucalyptus oil, anise oil, thyme oil, and peppermint oil) per litter it added in drinking water 1ml/10L for 7 days. The results of this study showed (p≤0.01) increased in hatching traits percentage, chick’s antibody titer against Newcastle Disease (ND) and Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) by ELISA, high-density lipoprotein HDL, total protein and glutathione GSH-Px antioxidant enzyme. Also, significantly (p≤0.01) reduced infertile eggs, triglycerides TG, total cholesterol TCH, low-density lipoprotein LDL, corticosterone hormone, and malondialdehyde antioxidant enzyme. In conclusion, results showed that aromatic oils supplementation in broiler breeders leads to improve hatchability and immune status at different laying times, noticed that both Miarom treatments had a positive effect on studied parameters and T4 10:00 AM laying time was most effective in all parameters of the study.
