Impacts of Probiotic feeding on Behavior and Welfare related parameters of Heat Stressed Broilers

This study was performed to detect the efficacy of probiotic (PROBAC plus) as anti-stress on behavior and welfare of heat-stressed broilers (32-35oc) from age 22d to 42d. One-hundred twenty chick were divided into 4 groups. The first group was control (basal diet), second was broilers reared at high...
