probiotics are beneficial microorganisms which will be considered as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters.the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of probiotic administration in hatchery on performance, blood parameters and immune response of broilers. three hundereds 1-d-old male chicks (ross 308) were assigned to five experimental groups of three replications. birds o...

Ileocecal resection (ICR) is a commonly required surgical intervention in unmanageable Crohn's disease and necrotizing enterocolitis. However, the impact of ICR, and the concomitant doses of antibiotic routinely given with ICR, on the intestinal commensal microbiota has not been determined. In this study, wild-type C57BL6 mice were subjected to ICR and concomitant single intraperitoneal antibio...
