The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of contaminated poultry diet with AfB1, OTA on chicks feds on this diet and the efficiency of addition pomegranate peels and clove powders in detoxifying the mycotoxins. Results showed that two mycotoxins caused significant reduction in chick's weight with high mortality percentage compared with control (non-contaminated diet). The chick weights were found to be 518.85, 532.90, 418.97 g/chick associated with mortality of 20, 25, 35% for chick fed on diet contaminated with AfB1 , OTA, and a combination of each respectively compared with 801.63 g/chick in control. The two mycotoxins caused significant reduction in packed cell volume, hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell and protein concentration, 27.62%, 8.24 g/100 ml, 2.07 × 106/ml, 3.25 g/100 ml, 27.25%, 8.77 g/100 ml, 2.19 × 106/ml, 3..
