EFFECT OF PROBIOTIC BACTERIA ON THE INDICATORS OF GROWING BROILERS
Probiotic bacteria increase the activity of beneficial enzymes, have a positive effect on digestion, increase in live weight gain of young chickens, feed conversion, and survival rate of poultry. As a result of our research, it has been established that the species composition of probiotic bacteria influences the growth rates of young poultry. Thus, an increase in the period of feeding of a probiotic preparation containing lyophilized strains of Bifidobacterium globosum bifidobacteria, enterococci and Bacillus subtilis reduces the live weight of broilers by 1.7 %, and feed costs - by 5.4 %. However, the survival rate of livestock remains high.
