The Impact of Gut Flora Stabilizer on Boosting Growth and Enhancing Gut Health in Broiler Chickens

Probiotic-based gut flora stabilizers are increasingly used to improve intestinal health, immune function, and production performance in broiler chickens. This study evaluated the effects of TechnoCare200, containing Bacillus coagulans DSM 32016 and Bacillus licheniformis DSM 33806, on growth performance, immunity, intestinal morphology, and gut health.

A total of 500 one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to two groups (250 birds/group). The control group received a basal diet, whereas the treatment group received the same diet supplemented with TechnoCare200 at 100 g/MT throughout the trial. Growth performance, mortality, litter quality, footpad dermatitis, carcass traits, immune responses, and intestinal histomorphology were evaluated.

TechnoCare200 supplementation reduced mortality by 21%, improved litter condition scores, and decreased footpad dermatitis incidence compared with the control group. Treated birds showed significantly higher body weight, improved body weight gain, lower feed conversion ratio, and increased production number. Carcass evaluation revealed significant increases in carcass, breast meat, and front-part yields. Humoral immunity and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses were significantly enhanced. Histological examination demonstrated improved intestinal morphology, characterized by a higher villus-to-crypt ratio, together with enhanced villus development and normal lymphoid architecture with increased lymphoid activity in immune organs.

Dietary supplementation with TechnoCare200 containing B. coagulans DSM 32016 and B. licheniformis DSM 33806 improved growth performance, feed efficiency, immune responses, carcass yield, and intestinal health in broiler chickens. These findings indicate that TechnoCare200 is an effective probiotic gut flora stabilizer with potential to enhance poultry productivity and welfare under commercial production conditions.
