Summary:This study was carried out to investigate the effect of probiotics on the performance, nutrients digestibility, noxious gas emission and microflora population on the cecum of broilers. A total of 120 broilers, consisted do 4 treatments X 3 replicates X 10 broilers per replicates. were fed the experimental diets containing 0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% probiotics for 5 weeks. Broilers fed the diets containing 0.1 and 0.3% probiotic had higher (p0.05) body weight gain and feed conversion than those of the others from the 3rd to 4th week. Broilers fed 0.3% proviotic had higher (p0.05) body weight gain and feed conversion than those of the other levels from the 5th to 6th week. Broilers fed the diets containing 0.1% an d0.3% probiotic had higher (p0.05) body weight gain and feed conversion than those of the others from the 2nd to 6th week.
