This study investigated the effect of feeding primalac probiotics on growth performance and some blood parameters of ostriches from hatch until 8 wk of age. A total of 48 day-old ostriches were randomly divided into 4 equal treatment groups: 1) Control group fed with a basal diet 2) 0.035 Primalac group: a basal diet supplemented with 0.035 primalac probiotic 3) 0.095 Primalac group fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.095 primalac probiotic and 4) 0.135 Primalac group fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.135 primalac probiotic. The results showed that inclusion of the primalac probiotics added to the basal diet improved body weight FCR and blood parameters (glucose cholesterol uric acid and urea) with the 0.135 Primalac group registering the highest body weight lowest FCR and lowest amounts of blood cholesterol uric acid and urea (all p0.05).

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of feeding primalac probiotics on growth performance and some blood parameters of ostriches from hatch until 8 wk of age. A total of 48 day-old ostriches were randomly divided into 4 equal treatment groups: 1) Control group fed with a basal diet 2) 0.035 Primalac group: a basal diet supplemented with 0.035 primalac probiotic 3) 0.095 Primalac group fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.095 primalac probiotic and 4) 0.135 Primalac group fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.135 primalac probiotic. The results showed that inclusion of the primalac probiotics added to the basal diet improved body weight FCR and blood parameters (glucose cholesterol uric acid and urea) with the 0.135 Primalac group registering the highest body weight lowest FCR and lowest amounts of blood cholesterol uric acid and urea (all p0.05).
