The effect of synbiotic preparations on the intestinal microbiota and her metabolism in broiler chickens.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the research was to determine the effect of newly elaborated synbiotic preparations on the count of dominant intestinal microorganisms, on the profile of fatty acids (short chain - SCFA and branched chain - BCFA), the lactic acid produced and the performance of chickens. The studies determined the composition of the dominant intestinal microbiota with use of the culture method. The fatty acid profile was also determined using the high-performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC). Moreover, the performance of chickens was determined such as the daily cumulative mortality rate, the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and the European Production Efficiency Factor (EPEF). It was found that synbiotics had a beneficial effect on parameters of the performance of chickens, and also resulted
