The objectives of this research consist describe the principles mechanisms of action, selection and synthesizing criteria of probiotics and their application in poultry industry. Biotechnology plays a vital role in the poultry feed industry. In broiler chickens feeding, there have been tested probiotics species belonging to Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 11181 and Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 to reduce broiler chickens mortality and increase body weight and started with products that need to be tested and verified under these conditions. The experiment was initially performed on two successive series of broilers. The birds were weighed at the beginning of the experiment. Day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens (n=484) unsexed were distributed in three halls, in separate compartments. The data were analysed using SPSS 20.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Statistical differences among means of the treatments were compared using the Tukey’s multiple test. Comparisons were considered statistically significant at P≤ 0.05.
