Antibiotic resistance has become a global health concern, driving the need for sustainable alternatives in animal husbandry. This study explores potential of natural feed additives as viable solution to enhance poultry growth and while reducing reliance on antibiotics. Chinese herbal medicines probiotics have been widely studied green, healthy, safe antibiotic livestock production. A total 120 chickens were randomly divided into four groups: control group three treatment groups supplemented with 1% Pulsatilla chinensis powder, 3% fresh Acer truncatum, or Clostridium butyricum. The results showed that powder significantly increased gamma-glutamylcysteine (p < 0.05), UDP-N-acetylglucosamine tyramine 0.01), leucine 0.05). truncatum notably altered cecal metabolites, including L-tyrosine α-ketoisovaleric acid myristoleic glutathione PGA1 butyricum modified metabolites such L-glutamine riboflavin L-Carnitine ergocalciferol α-tocotrienol
