Broiler performance with additional Synbiotic

Abstract

Abstract There are many methods to improve the performance and productivity of the broiler. Synbiotic is a product containing probiotics and prebiotics in one media. Synbiotic increase the digestibility of feed that contains a lot of crude fiber, eliminate the smell of ammonia in feces, increase the immune system, help increase growth and productivity, compete against pathogenic bacteria that harm and improve quality feed by increasing protein levels. The purpose of this study was to analyze the performance of broiler chickens using synbiotic. The total of 200-day old chickens divided into two treatments. The control is without symbiotic and the treatment using symbiotic into drinking water. The parameters are body weight, feed conversion, feed efficiency, and economic appearance such as benefits, break event point and income over feed cost. The results of the study showed that synbiotic increase feed consumption, body weight, feed efficiency, break event point and revenue cost, but decrease feed conversion than control. Addition symbiotic improve performance and economic appearance.
