Effect of Probiotic on Growth Performance, Carcass Traits, and Clinical Health Parameters of Broilers Reared under Heat Stress in Upper Egypt

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of probiotic (PROBAC plus®) supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and clinical health parameters of broilers reared under high temperature (32-35oc) from age of 22 to 42 day. A total of 120 broiler chicks were divided into...
