Brief Description
Broiler nutrition is rapidly evolving and the use of feed additives has been one of its major components to improve flock performance. Probiotics are one of the feed additives being extensively used nowadays because of their proven benefits to the overall flock performance. It has as emerged as a promising tool in enhancing broiler nutrition and overall health. These beneficial microorganisms, when strategically incorporated into the diet of broiler chickens, can positively influence gut health, nutrient absorption, immune function, and performance. It also plays a vital role in optimizing the production and sustainability of broiler farming operations by supporting gut health, immune function and performance. As the poultry industry continues to seek sustainable and effective alternatives to traditional growth by promoting additives, probiotics on the other hand, have garnered attention for their potential to improve the well-being and productivity of broiler chickens.
Expected Output
1. This study will contribute to a better understanding of how probiotics can optimize production efficiently in local broiler farming.
2. It can inform farmers about the potential benefits of probiotic use and guide management practices to improve bird health and welfare while maximizing economic returns.
3. Improve fecal characteristics and reduce fecal microbial load presents a promising approach for enhancing broiler health and productivity.
