Economic Performance of Different Concentrations of Probiotics on Broiler Chickens

Production of broiler practically presents the most intensive branch of the animal husbandry.The reproduction process is relatively short, which enables faster turnover of the engaged resources.The influence of phytogenic additives addition in broiler diet on the economic results of the production was examined in present paper.The experiment was conducted on broilers hybrid ROSS (n = 16480) divided in two groups.First group (control, C) was fed with commercial broiler feed mixture, while in experimental group (E1) probiotics were included, respectively.Fattening of broilers lasted for 40 days.Food and water were provided ad libidum in the floor fattening system.Research of the economic results of the production of broilers is based on the determination of the total production cost, value of the production and the financial result.Calculation of these economic categories is based on the data gathered on the selected farm.It was concluded that the diet enriched with probiotics had beneficial effect on the majority of monitored economic parameters: total benefit (2 601,96 : 1 870,30 €), benefit per broiler (0.32 : 0.23 €), economy (1.10 : 1.08) and profitability (3.61 : 2.61%).
