The trial involved 684 Cobb 500 broiler chicks in order to investigate the effects ofprobiotics and phytogenic additives on performance, gut morphology and cecalmicrobial concentrations. Birds were assigned to three treatments: control feed,treatment with addition of probiotics in feed and water and treatment with addition ofphytogenic blend in feed. The results showed a significant improvement (P<0.01) in bodyweight gain and a numerical, but non significant (P>0.05) improvement in feedconversion ratio by adding both probiotics and phytogenics in feed. There were nostatistically significant differences among treatments regarding total aerobes, anaerobes,lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, enterococci, and Escherichia coli populations (P>0.05)in cecum of broilers. The gut morphology examination showed that probiotics hadbeneficial effect on jejunum morphology causing a significant (P<0.005) increase in villusheight and villus surface area compared to other two groups. On the other hand,phytogenic additive had no effect (P>0.05) on villus height or villus surface area, butreduced the villus/crypt ratio (P<0.05), which may indicate that the improved productionresults in the group with added phytogenics are not directly connected with changes ingut integrity, but with other physiological mechanisms
