Effects of a novel, non-invasive pre-hatch application of probiotic for broilers on development of cecum microbiota and production performance

SUMMARY

    To address the issue of pre-hatch delivery of probiotics, the authors investigated a new non-invasive application method for broilers where the probiotic E. faecium 669 was sprayed on the eggs at day 18 of incubation. Hatchability Hatchability in trial 1 were 84,4% in both the probiotic and the mock-sprayed eggs and in trial 2, hatchability was 77,6% in both groups. In trial 1 the recovery of the probiotic E. faecium from yolk-sac and intestine at day 1 and cecum samples at day 7 and 21 showed that the probiotic was present . . .
