Effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus on production performance and immunity of broiler chickens and their mechanism
In conclusion, <i>L. acidophilus</i> improved feed efficiency and immune function of broilers by controlling nutrient metabolism and inflammation responses of broilers. <i>L. acidophilus</i> can be used as a potential substitute for antibiotics in broiler production.
