From the point of view of healthy and safe food it can be said that the use of probiotics in animal feeds has many benefits and satisfies the basic requirement - exclusion of all additives leading to the occurrence of undesirable residues in the body or their accumulation in excreta, and consequently environmental pollution (Sinovec Z., 1996). This is the main and essential feature of the use of probiotics in animal feeding systems (Sefton, 1988).
Numerous research studies conducted in recent time have confirmed that dietary supplemented
probiotics have positive effect on gain increase, improved feed conversion rate, and reduction in mortality (Tortuero, 1973 Fuller R., 1997).
Despite this considerable body of research about the positive effects of probiotics in chicken feeds,
there are only few results about their effect on the quality of cooked broiler meat.
Ristic et al. (2000) found significant improvements of meat flavour in broilers fed with probiotics,
designed as meat taste- enhancer
For these reasons, the objective of this paper was to examine effect of probitoics on the broiler chicks
performance and meat quality.
