Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sodium bicarbonate and/or two different levels of probiotic (Fastrack¨) on the body weight gain and feed efficiency of broiler-type chicks. Broilers were grown on diets supplemented with 0.5% NaHCO3, 0.075% Fastrack¨, 0.075% Fastrack¨ + 0.5% NaHCO3, 0.15% Fastrack¨, 0.15% Fastrack¨ + 0.5% NaHCO3 and the control diet for 49 days. The results of the experiment showed that the body weight of broilers in groups treated with only sodium bicarbonate was higher the other treated groups (P
