Probiotics can play an important role in immunological, digestive and respiratory functions and could have a significant effect in alleviating lipid. Therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Milk and Soybean Fermented with Probiotic on cholesterol status i.e. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) indices of broilers. Materials and Methods: A total of 120, 5 weeks old broilers were used in this study in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD). The birds were randomly assigned into six treatment groups of P0, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 with 24 birds treatment G1 replicated 4 times of 5 birds each. The broiler in first group (P0) basal feed, (P1) basal feed with cow's milk, (P2) basal feed with milk fermented, (P3)basal feed with soy milk fermented, (P4) basal feed with combination milk fermented and soy milk fermented, (P5) basal feed with combination milk fermented and soy milk fermented with different bacteria. Results: There were non-significant (p>0.05) increasing High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) level of broiler due to probiotic supplementation. Increasing blood HDL levels is (69.73 mg/dL) in group fed P4 (combination milk fermented and soy milk fermented) compared to control (45,16 mg/dL). A statistically significant (p<0.05) decrease in total number of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) level. Lowest LDL level (33.36 mg/dL) was found in group fed (P4) combination milk fermented and soy milk fermented. In conclusion, addition of probiotic milk fermented with soy milk fermented had beneficial effect increasing HDL levels and decreasing LDL levels broiler blood.
