Abstract
Aim:
The aim was
to investigate the effects of dietary supplementations of
prebiotic, probiotic, and synbiotic on growth performance and
carcass characteristics of broiler chickens.
Materials and
Methods:
A total of 360
1-day-old Vencobb broiler chickens of either sex were randomly
assigned to four dietary treatments each consisting of three
replicates and each replicate having 30 birds for 6 weeks. The
dietary treatments were (1) control group with basal diet, (2)
basal diet supplemented with prebiotic (at 400 g/tonne of
starter as well as finisher ration), (3) basal diet supplemented
with probiotic (at 100 g/tonne of starter ration and 50 g/tonne
of finisher ration), and (4) basal diet supplemented with
synbiotic(at 500 g/tonne of starter as well as finisher ration).
The birds were provided with ad-libitum feed and drinking
water during the entire experimental period.
Results:
The
highest body weight observed in asynbiotic group, which was
non-significantly (p>0.05) higher than thecontrol group.
Prebiotic and probiotic groups showed lower body weight than
synbiotic and control groups. A total feed intake did not show
any significant (p>0.05) difference between experimental groups.
There were no significant (p>0.05) differences in feed
conversion ratio of broiler chickens in prebiotic, probiotic,
and synbiotic groups as compared with control group. There was
no significant (p>0.05) difference in the carcass traits with
respect to dressing percentage, carcass percentage, heart
weight, liver weight and gizzard weight, wing percentage, breast
percentage, back percentage, thigh percentage, and drumstick
percentage in Cobb broilers under study.
Conclusion:
The
growth performance and percentage of carcass yield did not show
any significant increase by the dietary inclusion of prebiotic,
probiotic, and synbiotic compared with unsupplemented control in
a commercial broiler chicken.
Keywords:
caracass characteristics, growth performance, prebiotic,
probiotic, synbiotic, Vencobb broilers.
