Background:artichoke with antioxidant properties can reduce poisons effects in poultry. objectives:this study conducted to investigate the effects of artichoke leaf powder on performance, internal organs weight and some blood parameters of japanese quail poisoned with carbon tetrachloride (ccl4). methods:a total of 100 one-day-old japanese quail chicks were used to study of 4 experimental treatments including control (receiving basal diet), artichoke leaf powder (basal diet supplemented with 2 percent of artichoke leaf powder), ccl4 (basal diet plus ccl4, 1 ml/kg body weight) and artichoke leaf powder + ccl4. this study was performed as completely randomized design with a 2×2 factorial arrangement, including 2 levels of artichoke leaf powder (0 and 2 percent) and 2 levels of ccl4 (0 and 1 ml/kg bw). results: experimental treatments did not effect on feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio. artichoke leaf powder did not affect relative weight of internal organs, except lungs (p < 0.05). ccl4 decreased carcass and breast weights while increased gizzard relative weight (p < 0.05). interaction effects between artichoke leaf powder and ccl4 showed a decrease for abdominal fat by 2 percent artichoke leaf powder (p < 0.05). artichoke leaf powder decreased cholesterol while ccl4 increased triglyceride levels in blood serum significantly (p < 0.05). conclusions: this study indicated that artichoke leaf powder can reduce the effects of oxidative stress of ccl4 on japanese quail.
