Abstract
Results of our study indicate that probiotic (Lavipan) added to a feed for broiler chickens was capable to reduce the extent of Campylobacter spp. invasion in the gastrointestinal tract of birds and, resultantly, to diminish contamination level in bird environment, which eventually contributed to the improved hygienic parameters of analyzed poultry carcasses. Additionally, this probiotic displayed promising immunomodulatory properties that may improve the effectiveness of the specific prophylaxis program applied in a flock of broiler chickens.
