Abstract
A study was conducted in Cobb 430 broilers in western India. One thousand birds were allocated to four different treatments: Control, Competitor 1, Competitor 2, and the one supplemented with Lactomax Gold. After the completion of the trial, growth parameters like average body weight, feed intake, FCR, mortality, and EEF were analysed, and Lactomax Gold showed significantly better performance when compared to all the other treatments.
