In the experiment, 108 R0SS broilers were used, and they were randomly distributed into three treatments, with 36 broilers for each treatment and three replicates for each treatment and 12 broilers for each replicate. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between the different treatments in most of the studied traits (feed consumption rate, feed conversion factor, mortality rate, productivity per square meter of live weight), but there was a better improvement in the treatments of probiotic addition. While it was noticed that the addition of the probiotic was significant at the probability level (P&lt;0.05) in the body weight and the rate of weight gain.</p> ER -
