This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary mugwort (0, 1, 2, 4%) and sardline oil(1%) on weight gain, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), and meat color in meat-type chickens. Birds were randomly assigned to the four dietary treatments: control (commercial feed), control plus 1% mugwort and sardine oil (T1), 2% mugwort and 1% sardine oil(T2), or 4% mugwort and 1% sardine oil (T3). Birds were sacrificed and meat samples were taken and stored for either 0, 3, 7 or 10 days at $4^{circ}C$. Weight gain in T3 was lowest than other treatment groups (P<0.05). pH of dietary mugwort and sardine oil treatments increased significantly compared to that of control during storage periods (P<0.05). VBN and TBARS of all treatment groups were significantly increased as storage period extended (P<0.05). Meat color $(L^*,;b^*)$ significantly increased during storage periods. $L^*;and;b^*$ values were higher in treatment groups than in control (P<0.05). These results indicate that the mugwort and fish oil may improve quality and self-life of meat-type chickens during storage.
