Heat stress is one of the major problems of tropical and
subtropical areas of the world, adversely affecting the production
performance of poultry. Heat stress suppresses broilers immunity
against disease, body weight gain and increases mortality rate in
the flock. The avian gastrointestinal tract is populated by a
diverse and dynamic microbiota, generally considered important for
host nutrition and immunity. About 300 to 500 bacterial species
reside broilers gut. The key functions of the gut microbiota in
host health and well-being includes nutrients digestion and
absorption, and significant up-regulation of innate and acquired
immunity.There are quite a few studies depicting effect of heat
stress on gut microbiota. Perturbations in the GIT micobial
composition that occur as a result of stress can be settled by
prebiotics or probiotics supplementations. These two supplements
are also known for promoting growth performance and immunity of
broilers. However, use of these supplements in broilers reared
under tropical environment has not been examined. Therefore, we
planned this project to examine effects of heat stress and
pre/probiotics on broilers health and performance
