Abstract

Feeding experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of a Lactobacillus-probiotic LC on i broiler chickens and ii laying hens. The results showed that LC was able to significantly P0.05 improve the body weight and feed to gain ratio and reduce abdominal fat deposition total cholesterol and fat contents in the carcass and serum lipids of broilers. In laying hens the supplementation of LC significantly p0.05 improved the feed efficiency during the early stage of the laying cycle and increased egg weight and influenced a shift from small and medium to large and extra large eggs throughout the laying cycle.
