Effect of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Supplementation on Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the growth performance of broiler chickens. A total of 120-day-old Cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments with five replications of six birds each. The treatments consisted of T₀ (control, basal diet), T₁ (basal diet + 1% yeast), T₂ (basal diet + 1.5% yeast), and T₃ (basal diet + 2% yeast). The feeding trial lasted for 42 days under uniform managemental conditions. Results indicated that yeast supplementation significantly (P
