Abstract

The research was conducted to observe the effect of a probiotic and organic acid with yeast extract on growth performance (body weight gain, meat yield percentage, and organ weight), hematological (Hb, ESR, and PCV) and biochemical parameters (Urea, Uric acid, and Creatinine) as an indication of kidney function. A total of 18 broiler chicks (Cobb-500) 7 days old were assigned to 3 treatment groups as group A (control group, n=6) was fed with standard commercial feed, and Group B (n=6) was fed with probiotics (Gut-pro®). Group C (n=6) was fed with probiotics, organic acids, yeast extract, and normal commercial ration. Chicks were reared for 35 days. Body weights were recorded weekly. Broilers were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and blood samples were collected for analysis. Serum samples were separated for biochemical tests. Whole meat, liver, viscera and skin were collected and weighed. Total body weight, weight of whole meat, liver, viscera and skin increased significantly (P ˂ 0.01) in birds of group C (organic acid with probiotics) and group B (probiotic) than that of the control group A. Packed cell volume and hemoglobin concentration were increased significantly (P ˂ 0.01) in birds of group B (probiotic) and group C (probiotic and organic acid with yeast extract) than that of the control group A. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) increased significantly (P ˂ 0.01) in control group A than that of probiotic and organic acid-treated groups. Uric acid and Creatinine concentrations decreased significantly (P ˃ 0.01) in probiotic and organic acid-treated groups than in the control group. Urea levels in group B (probiotic) and group C (probiotic and organic acid with yeast extract) were similar to that of control group A.
