Chickens in control group were fed with basal diet, while chickens in experimental groups were fed with the diet containing antibiotics, Chinese herbal medicine, probiotics and acidifi- er. The entire trial lasted 50 d, and growth performance and apparent nutrient digestibility of tested chickens were observed and measured. Compared with control group, the feed gain ratio in experimental groups significantly decreased (P 〈 0.05 ), while that in probiotics group was the lowest. The average daily gain in pmbi- otics group was significantly higher than that in control group or other experimental groups (P 〈 0.05). The apparent digestibility of crude protein, crude fat and energy in probiotics group were significantly higher than that in control group or other experimental groups (P 〈 0.05 ). The apparent digestibility of phosphorus, crude fat, crude fiber, calcium and crude protein in antibiotics group were significantly higher than that in control group (P 〈 0.05 ). The apparent digestibility of crude protein, crude fiber and phosphorus in Chinese herbal medicine group were significantly higher than that in control group (P 〈 0.05 ). The apparent digesti- bility of nutrient in acidifier group were significantly lower than that in control group or other experimental groups ( P 〈 0.05 ). Therefore, pmbiotics had better effects on growth performance and apparent nutrient digestibility of chickens than antibiotics, while Chinese herbal medicine and acidifier had inferior effect than an- tibiotics.展开更多
