| A study on the potential of Lactobacillus plantarum ST1and dried fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (DFJLB) as probiotics was conducted with 200 broilers (1-day old). On four treatments were control (basal diet), antibiotic (basal diet + 0.05% OTC) and 0.2% DLABand1.0% DFJLB with basal diet. The birds were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design, 5 replications with 10 chicks per replication in cage. All treatments were not significant difference on growth and feed conversion efficiency in broilers(P<0.05). Significantly, lowest E. coli counts in feces fed Lactobacillus plantarumST1 and DFJLB were recorded compared to control and antibiotic (P<0.05). Lactic acid bacteria counts in cecum significantly reduced in control compared to... |
