The Use of Probiotics to Enhance Immunity of Broiler Chicken Against Some Intestinal Infection Pathogens

This study was conducted on120 one day old broiler chicks which were divided into six groups, 20 birds each. Group 1 (control), group 2 (supplemented with probiotic), group 3 (challenged with Salmonella and receive no probiotic), group 4 (challenged with E coli and receive no probiotic), group 5 (ch...
