This additive is formulated from a specific mixture of essential oils selected for their beneficial properties on poultry health; namely: - Thyme, marjoram, calyptus globulus and peppermint essential oils. Administering this additive leads to a significant increase in poultry growth, improves their immune system by increasing antibody levels, and reduces the use of antibiotics. The invention addresses a crucial need in the poultry industry by offering a natural and effective alternative to antibiotics, while simultaneously improving the zootechnical performance of poultry. It is part of a more sustainable poultry production approach and aligns with consumer expectations for safer, higher-quality products. The invention is distinguished by the precise dosage of its components, guaranteeing optimal synergy between the essential oils. It is easily integrated into existing farming practices thanks to its simple administration via the poultry's drinking water. Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of this additive, with significant results in terms of weight gain, reduced mortality rate, and improved feed conversion ratio.
