THE POTENTIAL OF COMMERCIAL PROBIOTIC TO BROILER’S WEIGHT GAIN, FEED CONSUMTION AND FEED CONVERTION OF BROILER
ABSTRACT: The aim of this
study was to determine the effect of probiotic (combination of Bifidobacterium
bifidum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger and
Saccharomyces cerevisiae bacteria) influence toward broiler’s weight gain, feed
consumption and feed convertion. The experiment animals were twenty chicken,
divided into four treatments and five
replications. Four different probiotic dosages, P0: controls, P1: drinking
water supplemented by probiotic dosage 0.5 ml/liter, and P2: drinking water
supplemented by probiotic dosage 1 ml/liter and P3: drinking water supplemented
by probiotic dosage 1.5 ml/liter. The data were analyzed using the Analysis of
Variance Statistic Method (ANOVA, α=5%) and if there were differences among the
treatments, The Duncan’s Multiple Range 5% Test was used. Research results
there were significantly differences among treatments on broiler’s weight gain,
feed consumption and feed convertion of broiler. However the best result was in
treatment P2 (1 ml/liter probiotic drinking water).
