A study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers as affected by supplementation of different levels of probiotics in feeds.

A total of 84 straight — run day — old Cobb broiler chicks was divided into four to accommodate four treatments; TO — control, (0.kg probiotics), T1 — 0.6kg of probiotics mixed in 100kg of feeds or 6g/kg, T2 — 0.5kg of probiotics mixed in 100kg of feeds or Sg/kg, T3 -— 0.4kg of probiotics mixed in 100kg of feeds or 4g/kg. Probiotics supplementation started from the first day up to harvest at day 35.

Using analysis of variance, significant differences at P< 0.05 were noted in the body weight at day 21 and feed conversion efficiency at day 21 and feed consumption at day 28. Similar performance was noted at the end of the experiment. No mortality occurred during the entire period of the experiment.

The highest income was generated from birds in Treatment III (Php 890.23 or Php 42.39 /bird) followed by birds in Treatment II (Php 862.93 or Php 41.09 /bird) and Treatment 0 (Php 829.48 or Php39.50 /bird), while birds in Treatment I gave the lowest income Php 756.29 or Php 36.01 /bird.
