In the experimental periods, feed intake, body weight, livability, feed conversion was measured. At the end of the experiment carcass percentage, breast (%), leg and abdominal fat, and some of intestinal organs weight were measured with 6 birds (3 male and 3 female) from each pen.In this experiment,Maximin, Equally likely averaging, and weighted averaging were usedto choosing a ground herbal plant for antibiotic growth promoter’s substitution. Based on this methods,using 2.5 g/Kg licorice inbroiler diet in comparison to other groups had a best score in three muticriteriadecision analysis, so we could say it can be used a safe feed additives for improving broiler performance.Key words: Herbal plant, Funnel, Licorice, Broiler and Muticriteria Decision Analysis.
