    ABSTRACT: The effect of feeding probiotics on growth performance, blood constituents and immune parameters in broiler chicks was studied. An experiment of 42 days duration was conducted 525 day-old broiler chicks, which were randomly allotted to 7 dietary treatments. Each treatment contained 75 chicks. The 7 dietary treatments were control (no probiotic) and other 6 diets were the control diet supplemented with various probiotics viz., Pediococcus acidilactici (MTCC, Chandigarh), Pediococcus acidilactici (NCIM, Pune), Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces boulardii 50 % + Pediococcus acidilactici (NDRI) 50%, Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus reuteri @ of 109 CFU/gm. Data was collected for body weight, daily weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio during the experimental period (0 – 42 d of age). On day 28 and 42, concentration of proteins, albumin, globulin, albumin/globulin ratio, cholesterol and triglycerides in serum, red blood cells (RBC), haemoglobin, packed cell volume (PCV) and white blood cells (WBC) in chick’s blood were evaluated. Body weight gain of broilers was influenced by inclusion of probiotics during over all period and groups supplemented with Pediococcus acidilactici, (MTCC, Chandigarh), Saccharomyces cerevisiae and combination of Saccharomyces boulardii 50 % and Pediococcus acidilactici 50% recorded the highest body weight amongst the experimental groups at the end of 6th week. Supplementation of probiotics as single or as their combination did influence feed intake in broilers, but had significant effect on feed conversion ratio of broilers for over all period. Livability was not influenced by various probiotics supplementation. The concentration of total proteins and globulins were significantly (P<0.05) higher in all the probiotic supplemented groups and Lactobacillus reuteri recorded the highest protein and globulin concentration. A/G ratio were significantly (P<0.05) lower in all groups while albumin concentration did not reveal any significant changes among the groups. Supplementation of probiotics had profound effect on the serum lipid profile, both serum cholesterol and triglycerides level was significantly (P<0.05) lowered with either of the probiotic supplementation. Mean TEC (106/cmm) was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in control group in comparison to other groups supplemented with probiotics and highest TEC was found in groups Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lactobacillus reuteri and Saccharomyces boulardii. The mean mean TLC (103/cmm) was highest with Pediococcus acidilactici (MTCC, Chandigarh), Pediococcus acidilactici, (NCIM, Pune) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The probiotics Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces boulardii revealed highest Hb (g/dl) at the end of experimental period. The PCV (%) showed a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in control in comparison with that of probiotic fed groups at the end of 6th week and highest PCV (%) was observed with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces boulardii. The humoral immune response to new castle disease virus at 28 days of age significantly (P<0.05) increased with the inclusion of probiotics. At the age of 42 days, HI titers were significantly (P<0.05) higher in all diets supplemented with probiotic than control. Supplementation of probiotic influenced the faecal pH which significantly (P<0.05) reduced in all dietary treatment groups compared to the control diet. Supplementation of probiotics in all dietary treatment groups lowered the faecal coliform count. The present study indicated that supplementation of probiotics @ (1×109 cfu/g) in diets of broiler diets improved growth, lowered serum lipid profile, increased serum protein profile, haematological constituents, faecal pH and faecal coliform count and better immune responses.
