Abstract: WOS: 000344689400018<br />This study was carried out to determine the effects of dietary yeast cell wall supplementation on growth performance, carcass traits, antibody production to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and histopathological changes in broilers. A total of 272 Ross 308 male broiler chicks aged one day were allocated into one control group and three treatment groups each containing 68 chicks. A basal diet was supplemented with 0, 1, 2 and 3 g/kg yeast cell wall (InteMos) to obtain dietary treatments. The experimental period lasted 6 weeks. Dietary yeast cell wall increased body weight gain during the first three weeks (P<br />Integro Food and Feed Manufacturing Company (Istanbul, Turkey)<br />The authors wish to thank Integro Food and Feed Manufacturing Company (Istanbul, Turkey) for supporting this study and Beypilic for supplying chicks (Bolu, Turkey).
