Effects of live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a substitute to antibiotic on growth performance, immune function, serum biochemical parameters and intestinal morphology of broilers

This study evaluated the effects of live yeast (LY, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, immune function, antioxidant status and intestinal morphology of broilers. A total of 224, 1 day-old broilers were assigned 4 treatments (7 replications, 8 chicks each) and fe...
