In the probiotic supplemented fed g

In the probiotic supplemented fed groups, the feed was supplemented with 20mL of the
appropriate probiotic culture/kg of feed. In the group receiving the antibiotic, the basal diet
was supplemented with 0.012 g of colistin sulfate/kg of feed.
Body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion efficiency (FCE) and total
coliform bacteria counts in faecal samples were measured before the treatments and at 14,
28 and 42 days thereafter the animals received the experimental diets.
