Abstract

The use of probiotics tries to find a modulator effect on the broilers’ gastrointestinal tract microbiota as well as the beneficial effects this causes in the host. Objective: To evaluate a preparation of probiotic bacteria on broiler performance under commercial breeding conditions. Materials and Methods: A total of 42,848 one-day-old Cobb-500® chicken both male and female were used. The treatments were distributed in a randomized complete block design in a 2x2 factorial model, both males and females, and two levels of probiotic (with probiotic additive, 1 kg/ton and without probiotic in the food), with four repetitions per treatment and 2,678 birds per experimental unit. Birds consumed food and water ad libitum throughout the experimental period.Results: weight gain, food intake, food conversion and mortality were not affected by the addition of the probiotic in the diet whereas there was a significant gender-based effect (P<0.01) in the variables of body weight, weight gain and food intake. Conclusions: With the results of this research it was not possible to demonstrate differences between the performance indexes of chicken fed with the probiotic bacteria preparation in the diet under commercial breeding conditions, and those that did not have it.
