Résumé

A seven(7) weekfeeding trial was conducted to determine the carcasscharacteristics, primal cutsand organ weights of broiler chickensfed synbioticssupplemented diets.Four dietary treatments comprising 0ppm (control), 100ppm, 150ppm and 200ppmsynbiotics(MaiDiasan® ) respectively. One hundred and twenty (120) day-old chicks were randomly allotted to four experimental diets, at thirty (30) birds per treatment in a completely randomized design. The parametersmeasured were live weight, bled weight, carcass weight, breast weight, thigh weight, drumstickweight, wings weight, neck weight, back weight, spleen weight, liver weight, heartweight, lungs weight. The result showedthat all theparameters were not significantly different across the treatments. Therefore, the inclusion of MaiDiasan® synbioticsup to 200 ppmin broiler chickendiets did not adversely affect the carcass and organ traitsof the birds.
