Dietary Fermented Ginkgo biloba (FGLP) and Citrus junos Probiotics (FCJP) was evaluated on growth performance, immunity, cecal microbiology, meat composition and fatty acid profile in broilers. A total of 150 one day old Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated to the 5 treatments (5 replicated pen of 6 birds/pen): 1) Control (corn-soybean meal based basal diet), 2) FGLP1: Corn-soybean meal based basal diet+5% FGLP, 3) FGLP2: Cornsoybean meal based basal diet+10% FGLP, 4) FCJP1: Corn-soybean meal based basal diet+5% FCJP, and 5) FCJP2: Corn-soybean meal based basal diet+10% FCJP. A significant increase in weight gain during starter (0-21 days), finisher (22-35 days) and overall period (0-35 days) was exhibited in FGLP2 supplemented group compared to control and other treatment groups (P<0.05); where better feed conversion efficiency was found after FCJP2 supplementation during fin..
