Similarly,allPKOlev- els increasedLactobacillianddecreasedthecaecalcountsofSalmonella,coliforms,and E. coli (P < 0.05). Totalantioxidantcapacity(TAC) andsuperoxidedismutase(SOD) were significantly (P < 0.05) increasedwhilethemalondialdehyde(MDA) wasdecreasedin broilers fedPKO-supplementeddietvscontrolbirds.PKOenhancedimmuneresponseparam- eters includingtotalprotein,globulin, IgA, IgG, and C3 (P < 0.05) dosedependently. It wasconcludedthataddingPKOinthebroilers’dietpositivelyaffectedgrowth performance, inducedhypolipidemiceffect,enhancedimmunity,andantimicrobialandanti- oxidant activities.
