Abstract
The study was conducted to assess the effect of probiotic
supplementation on growth parameters viz. body weight, body
height, chest girth and body length of Osmanabadi kids. A
multi-strain commercially available probiotic (Protexin)
containing Lactobacillus species, Streptococcus species and
Yeast was administered orally at a dose rate of 2 gm per 25 kg
body weight daily for 2 months to the treatment group. At the
end of the first and second week, all the growth parameters were
higher in the treatment group as compared to the control group,
though the difference was not statistically significant.
However, from the third week onwards, all growth parameters were
significantly higher in the treatment group as compared to the
control group.
