The 240 day-old chicks (Hubbard) of homogenous flock were divided into tliree equal groups and randomly alloted, to the treatments having 4 replications of 20 birds each viz., T1 - Control (No probiotics in feeds), T2 - 400 g probiotics/tonne of feeds and T3 - 600 g probiotics/tonne of feeds. The nutrients requirement were made available as per the recommendation of BIS (1992a,b).
