Abstract
The dietary supplementations (6.9x10(8) celll/kg feed) of 4 strains (3 from HPKV, Palampur and 1 from CFTRI, Mysore) of Streptococcus lactis were undertaken to study the biological performance of Starbro broile rs up to 6 weeks of age, S1 strain procured from the CFTRI, Mysore, wa s the most effective because it showed significantly (P<0.05) higher b roiler, live-weight gain coupled with efficient feed efficiency ratio, and minimum chick mortality during both starter and finisher phases. There were also nonsignificant variations in dressing percentage, duod enal pH and duodenal thickness with this strain as compared to other t reatments including central.
