Effect of different growth promoters on broiler performance and gut morphology

A total of 240 Hybro broilers was divided into 4 groups. These groups were fed a complete corn/soybean based diet with and without addition of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP, Flavomycin® 15 ppm, Intervet), direct feed microbials (DFM, All-Lac® 1 kg/T, Alltech Inc. USA) and mannanoligosaccharide (M...
