Abstract:

The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementations of Probiotic, Prebiotic, Synbiotic and Garlic on growth performance, feed consumption, FCR, carcass traits and mortality percentage in broiler chickens up to six weeks of age. Three hundred seventy-five (375) straight run Vencobb broiler chickens were selected for the study and randomly assigned to five dietary treatment groups, Group T0-(Control), T1-0.01% Probiotic (100g/ton). T2-0.025% Prebiotic (250g/ton). T3-0.05% Synbiotic (500g/ton) and T4-0.30% Garlic powder (3kg/ton), fed along with standard broiler ration. At 6th week of age, the highest weekly body weight gain was observed in Garlic supplemented group followed by Synbiotic, Probiotic, Prebiotic and standared broiler ration group, respectively.
