ABSTRACT

One day old commercial Cobb – 400 broiler chicks consisting of twenty unsexed birds in each group were administered from day one to 42 in drinking water with prebiotic (Lactose @ 2.5 %,Group II), probiotic (Lactobacillus acidopholus @ 0.1%,Group III), their combination (Lactose @ 2.5% plus Lactobacillus acidophilus @ 0.1%,GroupIV) and commercial product G-Probiotic Spl® (containing five species of probiotic organisms, three digestive enzymes and liver extract, @ 0.05% in the fed, Group V) to evaluate growth performance on day 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42. The control group received only the basal diet (Group I). There was non-significant difference in body weight gain between different groups on day 7. On day 14, 21, 35 and 42, the gain in mean body weights in the prebiotic and probiotic supplemented groups increased significantly (Ptified growth factors. It was concluded that the prebiotics and probiotics could be used as physiological growth promoters in broiler chickens.
