ABSTRACT

An attempt was made to study the effect of supplementation of Lactobacillus acidophillus and
Saccharomyces cerevisiac individually and combination of both to feed, on growth performance
and feed conversion efficiency in goats. Sixteen of similar age and body weight were randomly
allotted to four treatments viz, T0 : concentrate (without probiotics), T1 : 2gm Lactobacillus acidophillus
per kg feed, T2: 2gm Saccharomyces Cerevisiac per kg feed, and T3 : mixture of 1g Lactobacillus
acidophillus + 1g Saccharomyces cerevisiac per kg feed was fed to the Osmanabadi goats. Observations
on the body weight gain showed the significant (P
