KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
The predominant bacteria in the small intestine of broilers were Lactobacillus spp., Escherichia coli
and Streptococcus spp. Compared with the antibiotic-supplemented group, experimental groups receiving
mannan oligosaccharide, lactic acid bacteria, and organic acids contained more Enterococcus spp.,
Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp. in the intestinal content. The predominant bacteria in the caecum
were Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus spp. and Enterococcus spp. Unlike the other groups, no Clostridium
spp. bacteria were found in the caecum of birds receiving antibiotic supplements. There was no effect of
the type of acid (fumaric vs formic) in feed on the composition of intestinal microflora of chickens.
