This experiment aimed to study the effect of diet supplementation withfeed enzyme (Poultrygrow) or chromium yeast (Biochrom) on the intestinalmicrobial balance of broiler chicks. A total of 300 broiler chicks, one day old,were randomly allocated into three treatment groups and named T1, T2 and T3respectively. Chicks in T1 used as control while chicks in T2 and T3 were feeddiets with two feed additives, Poultrygrow and Biochrom, respectively.The data show that the two feed additives were decreased the totalbacterial count and coliform count in crop, Jujinum and large intestine but thestatistical analysis showed that the effect were not significant. Supplementationof diet with Biochrom were significantly reduced total aerobic bacteria andincreased Lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacilli).The overall data revealed that the diet supplementation with Poultrygrowand Biochrom had a positive effect on microbial balance, a reduction in totalaerobic bacteria and coilform and significant increases in Lactobacilli wereshown in most digestive tract parts of broiler ch
