The specific aim of this study was to determine the effects of the supplementation of separate probiotic (protexin), including organic acid combination, plant extracts, mineral salts (genex) and antibiotic (flavomycin) to broiler diets on performance, abdominal fat weight, abdominal fat percentage, liver weight, intestinal weight, intestinal length, intestinal pH, carcass weight, carcass yield of broiler chicks. In this study, 84 one-day old male broiler chicks were used and divided equally into 6 groups. When the control group was fed a diet without supplemented diet probiotic (0.1% protexin), organic acid (0.2% genex), probiotic + organic acid (0.1% protexin + 0.2% genex), antibiotic (0.15% flavomycin) and antibiotic + organic acid (0.15% flavomycin +0.2% genex) were added to the diets of the experimental groups respectively. The experimental period was 42 days. The results obtained in the experiment showed that the group receiving 0.15% flavomycin + 0.2% genex supplemented in the basal diet was exhibited higher body weight gain, feed intake and carcass weight and better feed efficiency respectively than the control and other groups (P 0.05).

- Recent advances in the role of organic acids in poultry nutrition (2016, result): “Denli et al. (2003) reported that organic acid (mixture of propionic and formic acid) had no effect (P > .05) on the carcass yield, abdominal fat pad, abdominal fat percentage and liver weight at the end of the experiment compared with control.”
- Effect of Dietary Organic Acid Supplementation on Egg Production, Egg Quality and Some Blood Serum Parameters in Laying Hens (2008, background): “The improvement of fee d efficiency were already demonstrated in broiler and quail chickens (Vogt et al., 1981; Patten and Waldroup, 1988; Yalcin et al., 1997; Vesteggh, 1999; Denli et al., 2003 ).”

- Effect of Using Organic Acids to Substitute Antibiotic Growth Promoters on Performance and Intestinal Microflora of Broilers (2010, background): “On the other hand, Denli et al. (2003) found that dietary organic acids had no effect on the carcass yield and liver weight of broiler chickens at 42 d old.”
