English Abstract

The study evaluated the use of synbiotic locally manufacture for broiler chicken (Cobb-500) as early feeding by different methods on production performance characteristics of broiler chickens.

The broiler chickens distributed on four treatments, each of treatment distributed to three replicates (20 Chicks / replicate).

The results revealed the following : Control ( T1 ) no treatment was offered, Synbiotic was offered directly after hatch sprayed on cages of birds (T2), synbiotic was sticked on the transport cage directly after hatching ( T3 ), Synbiotic was offered to the birds directly at arrival to the farm (T4).

The trail included in this experiment were : Live body weight, Weight gain, Feed Intake, Feed Conversion and Total Mortality percentage in broiler chickens.

Results showed using synbiotic was sticked on the transport cage directly after hatching (T3) as early feeding for broiler chickens that is improved significantly (P > 0.05) in live body weight characters on the all of the other treatment, as well as, improved significantly (P > 0.05) in weight gain characters in treated by synbiotic as early feeding compared the control group in first and second weeks, But there were no significant effects (P < 0.05) among of the all treatment in the end experiment period, but feed intake, feed conversion and total mortality percentage were no significant (P < 0.05) by using synbiotic (T2, T3 and T4) compared to the bird of the control group (T1).

It can be concluded using synbiotic locally manufacture for broiler chicken (Cobb-500) as early feeding by synbiotic was sticked on the transport cage directly after hatching (T3) improved significantly in all production performance characteristics of broiler chickens.
