Özet
This study was conducted to determine and compare the effects of chitosan-oligosaccharide (COS), probiotics (Pro), and their combination on the growth performance, carcass parameters, digestive enzymes, and serum biochemical parameters of broiler chickens. A total of 300 one-day-old mixed-sex Ross 308 broiler chicks (36.29±0.93) were randomly divided into four treatment groups with five replicates each (15 chicks per replicate). No supplements were added to the basal diet in the control group; however, 1 g/kg COS, 1 g/kg Pro, and 1 g/kg COS + 1 g/kg Pro (Syn) were added to the basal diet of the respective treatment groups. At the end of the study, the results showed that the dietary supplementation of COS, Pro, and Synbiotic significantly (P < 0.001) increased the average daily gain, with values of 80.78±0.85 g/d, 80.21±0.36 g/d, and 79.94±0.7 g/d, respectively, compared to 73.28±0.49 g/d in the control group. Average feed intake was significantly higher in the supplemented groups (P < 0.001), with Pro showing the highest average feed intake of 149.00±1.17 g/d. COS supplemented group showed the lowest feed conversion ratio (1.82±0.00, P = 0.004) among all the study groups. There was no significant difference between the groups for carcass parameters and internal organ weights (P?> 0.05), except for live weight at slaughter, which was found to be higher in all dietary-supplemented groups, 3006.22±29.52 g, 2984.51±13.75 g, and 2972.60±24.33 g respectively, than in the control group (2740.47±17.13 g). There was no significant effect (P?> 0.05) of the different diets on digestive enzymes and serum biochemical parameters among the treatment groups (P?> 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of COS and Pro individually and in combination with broiler diets improves performance parameters without adverse effects on serum metabolites and digestive enzymes.
