Prophybiotics for in-ovo stimulation; validation of effects on guthealth and production of broiler chickens.

<p><span>The current study was conducted to validate the effects of <em>in-ovo </em>application of the selected prophybiotic (<em>L. mesenteroides + </em>garlic aqueous extract) as opposed to the use of probiotics alone on the gut health and production parameters of ROSS308 broiler chickens. <span>&nbsp;</span>To our knowledge, our study is the first to use a prophybiotic combination as well as a <em>Leuconostoc mesenteroides </em>strain in an <em>in-ovo </em>application in poultry.</span></p>
