Effects of Bacillus subtilis, butyrate, mannan-oligosaccharide, and naked oat (ß-glucans) on growth performance, serum parameters, and gut health of broiler chickens
ABSTRACT: Four nonantibiotic alternative growth promoters for broiler chickens were evaluated. Ross 308 chicks were fed a control diet (mainly corn and soybean meal) or a diet supplemented with a probiotic (Bacillus subtilis Gallipro DSM 17299), encapsulated butyric acid (Novyrate C), mannan-oligosa...
