Three hundred one month old TANUVAS Aseel chicks were supplied to the farmers of three groups (T1, T2 and T3), (Irrespective of number of birds seven replication in each treatment) under backyard system of rearing, all the chicks were fed concentrate feed along with foraging. T1 was control, T2 was Probeads EC supplement (5 beads/day/bird/oral) and T3 was probiotic supplement (1 g per kg of body weight).
The average body weight, daily weight gain, feed conversion efficiently, livability, cost benefit analysis were significantly higher in T2 (Probeads EC supplement) (P<0.05) compared to T3 and control (T1) groups.
