ABSTRACT

The immune responses in terms of relative spleen, bursa of Fabricius and thymus weights,
absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and hemagglutination inhibition titers (HIT) against New Castle
disease were studied upon supplementation of lactose (2.5% in drinking water) as prebiotic,
Lactobacillus acidophilus (0.1% in drinking water) as probiotic, their combination and G –Probiotic
Spl® (0.5% in diet), a commercial probiotic preparation in broiler chickens on day 21 and 42 of
age. The relative organ weights were numerically increased in supplemented groups indicating
the improvement of immune response in broiler chickens. The ALC values (8481.1 ± 265.2 to
1088.3 ± 141.4) on both day 21 and 42 were significantly increased (P
