- Supplementation of microencapsulated indigenous probiotics lactic acid bacteria on performance of broiler chickens was investigated. Probiotics of Lactobacillus murinus, Streptococcus termophilus, and Pediococcus acidilactici were spray dried using mixture of maltodextrin and skim milk powder. A total of 48 day old chick Lohmann strain broilers reared for 21 days were divided into four treatment groups, namely T0, T1, T2, and T3. The T0 group was raised without probiotics’ supplementation, while T1, T2, and T3 were supplemented with probiotics at different level of 0.5 g/kg feed, 1.0 g/kg feed, 1.5 g/kg feed, respectively. The results showed that supplementation of microencapsulated indigenous lactic acid bacteria probiotics did not affect feed consumption (P>0.05), but affected body weight gain, live weight, and feed conversion ratio (P<0.05). There was no significant different in the length of duodenum, jejunum, and ileum among treatments. This study reveals that there was a different morphology of villus in intestinal epithelium. Supplementation of probiotics increased the height and width of villus than the control. The results suggest that supplementation of microencapsulated indigenous probiotics lactic acid bacteria stimulate proliferation of intestinal epithelium in broiler chickens at starter phase and increases their performance.
