    Influence of Lysine Producing Probiotics (LPP) vis-a-vis type of protein source on performance of broilers

    Over the last few decades, broiler production in tropical and subtropical countries has been rapidly increasing due to ever increasing demand for poultry products. From 1995 to 1999, chicken meat production in Africa, Asia and South America grew by 13.85, 17.73 and 23.65%, respectively (Watt, 2001). Despite many challenges faced by broiler industries in these developing nations, including economic crisis, currency devaluation and reliance on imported raw materials, it is predicted that broiler production in these areas will continue to sustain strong growth in the future as well. As a result, the feeding and health management of birds assume significance. Soon after the introduction of antimicrobials into human chemotherapy in the 1940s, they were also introduced into veterinary practice (Moore et al., 1946). Consequently, Chickens became more susceptible to colonization by bacterial pathogens. When livestock and poultry are fed low doses of antibiotics routinely, bacteria may develop resistance to the drugs (Collignon, 1999). Certain scientific findings (Manning et al., 1994) suggested that antibacterials used for animal feeding become risky for humans (Sahin, 2002) and animal health (Thorns, 2000) and the conclusions of scientific committee of the European Council have thus led to a ban on feeding antibiotics (Witte, 2000). Nevertheless, increased public concern over the development and spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and the possible presence of antibiotic residuals in poultry products has led to search for safe alternatives to antibiotics in chicken diets (Gong et al., 2002). Currently, many parts of the world are experimenting alternative feed additives that may be used to alleviate the problems associated with the withdrawal of antibiotics from feed. The supplemental dietary microbial products function in the digestive system 1) to provide nutrients, 2) to aid in digesting foods and 3) to inhibit harmful bacteria (Owings et al., 1990). In this direction certain probiotics have been discovered to facilitate or
