abstract = "Probiotics are the possibility to chouse growth stimulation by using physiological potential of
animals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of different probiotics on poultry meat. The
experiment was started by fattening 700 one-day-old chicks (5 groups), provenance Arbor Acres, both
sexes, initial mass 40.07 ± 0.33 g. Fattening period was 42 days. Control group was fed with complete
feeding mixture of standard raw material and chemical composition without probiotics and the same
feed was given to other 4 groups (experimental groups) but with addition of different probiotics.
Chemical parameters, pH and sensory analysis were determined according to ISO standards, color
and texture were determined instrumentally. During examination the meat quality of drumstick meat in
all five groups, we found that there was statistically very significant difference (P < 0.01), though not
all. Application of probiotics in feed increased meat quality which is in relation to chemical
composition and pH value, color, tenderness and sensory analysis of drumstick meat.",
