ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted to evaluate effect of fermented product from Bacillus subtilis (FPBS) on uric acid, nitrogen and ammonia in broiler faeces. Forty broiler chickens aged 7 days were distributed to 4 treatment groups as follows: One treatment group was fed diet contained 0% FPBS as the control grup, and other three treatment groups were fed diet contained 0.5%, 1% or 2% FPBS, respectively. Experimental results showed that N-urate content of faeces in broiler chickens fed 1% FPBS was the lowest at week 2 after treatment, whereas 2% FPBS supplementation was the highest. Supplementation of 2% FPBS had the higher N-ammonia at week 2 and week 3 after treatment. Supplementation 1% or 2% FPBS reduced ammonia gas release at week 4 after treatment. Furthermore, the present results showed that supplementation of FPBS had no effect on the contents of nitrogen, uric acid and ammonia in faeces. In conclusion, supplementation of 1 - 2% FPBS to diet decreased ammonia gas release.
Key words: Bacillus subtilis, nitrogen, ammonia, uric acid
