Effect of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis inclusion in turkey diets on growth performance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the infl uence of a probiotic preparation containing spores of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis, added to feed, on growth performance of female turkeys reared until 84th day of age. A total of 300-day-old Hybrid Converter female turkeys were randomly assigned to 20 pens. The pens were randomly divided into two treatment groups: T1 received basal diets, and T2 received the same diets as group T1 supplemented with the probiotic (1.28·106 CFU/g feed). It can be concluded that the probiotic feed additive had a benefi cial infl uence on growth performance and signifi cantly increased the fi nal body weights and average daily gains of female
