Extract

Feed-borne antibiotics have been used since early of 1950’s in feed as a first primary to control of disease and more recently as a growth promoter and improve feed conversion efficiency in the poultry industry. Two of the more popular feed grade, spectrum antibiotics utilized within the poultry industry includes Virginiamycin (VIR) and Bambermycin (BAM) (Parks et al, 2001). Studies with broiler were indicated that probiotic bacteria are an alternative to antibiotics to be used extensively as a growth promoter in form animals (Green and Sainsbury, 2001). The aim of this study was to determine the effects of antibiotic (Virginiamycin) and probiotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) and their interaction on broiler performance and carcass yield.
