Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The utilization of probiotics in animal production has gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential benefits in improving growth performance and overall health. This study aimed to investigate the impact of probiotics on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The research was conducted through a series of experiments focusing on different aspects such as feed conversion ratio, body weight gain, and mortality rate. The study was carried out over a period of 12 weeks, during which broiler chickens were divided into two groups one group receiving a regular feed ration and the other group receiving feed supplemented with probiotics. Data on feed intake, body weight, and mortality rate were collected and analyzed using statistical methods. The results of the study revealed that the group receiving probiotics in their feed showed a significant improvement in growth performance compared to the control group. Specifically, the probiotic-treated group exhibited a lower feed conversion ratio, higher body weight gain, and lower mortality rate. These findings suggest that the inclusion of probiotics in the diet of broiler chickens can positively impact their growth performance and overall health. In conclusion, the findings of this study highlight the potential benefits of probiotics in enhancing the growth performance of broiler chickens. Further research is recommended to explore the mechanisms underlying the observed effects and to optimize the use of probiotics in poultry production. Overall, the results of this study contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of probiotics as a sustainable and effective strategy for improving animal health and productivity.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "The Impact of Probiotics on the Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens" aims to investigate the effects of probiotics on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Probiotics are live microorganisms that are believed to provide health benefits when consumed. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the use of probiotics in animal agriculture as a potential alternative to antibiotics, which are facing growing concerns regarding antimicrobial resistance. The project will begin with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on probiotics and their potential benefits for poultry production. This literature review will explore studies that have examined the effects of probiotics on growth performance, feed efficiency, immune function, and overall health in broiler chickens. By synthesizing and analyzing the findings from these studies, the project aims to provide a solid theoretical framework for understanding the potential mechanisms by which probiotics may influence the growth performance of broiler chickens. Following the literature review, the project will outline the research methodology, including the experimental design, sample size, probiotic treatment regimes, data collection methods, and statistical analyses. The study will involve the administration of specific probiotic supplements to different groups of broiler chickens and monitoring their growth performance parameters over a specified period. By comparing the growth rates, feed conversion ratios, and other relevant indicators between the probiotic-treated groups and control groups, the project seeks to evaluate the impact of probiotics on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The project will also discuss the practical implications of the findings for the poultry industry, including the potential benefits of incorporating probiotics into commercial broiler production systems. By demonstrating the positive effects of probiotics on growth performance and overall health in broiler chickens, the project aims to provide valuable insights that could contribute to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in poultry farming. In conclusion, the research project on "The Impact of Probiotics on the Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens" seeks to advance our understanding of the potential benefits of probiotics in poultry production. By investigating the effects of probiotics on growth performance and other key indicators in broiler chickens, the project aims to provide valuable information that could help improve the efficiency and sustainability of poultry farming practices."
