T104 Broiler chickens performance enhanced through addition of CALSPORIN ® or CALSPORIN ® plus Q-MOS ™ to basal or AGP-supplemented. T. Lohrmann 2 , K. D. Christensen 2 , and M. D. Sims 3 1 Quality Technology International (QTI), Elgin, IL, USA, 2 OKFarms, Inc., Mountain View Research., Fort Smith, AR, USA, and 3 Virginia Diversified Research Corp., Harrisonburg, VA, USA. A 42-d pen summer trial with high stocking density used 720 Hubbard M99 x Cobb 500 chicks fed 3 treatments: 1) negative control (NC); 2) CALSPORIN ® (CSP; 3x10 5 cfu/g feed); and 3) CSP plus 1x Q-MOS ™ . Q-MOS ™ is a proprietary Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall derived product. 8 pens of 30 chicks /treatment were placed. Initial stocking density of 0.062 m 2 (0.67 ft 2 ) per bird was decreased by 10% at 21 d. At 7 d and 21 d used litter was added to each pen. Corn-soy-DDGS-meat and bone meal diets were used. Salinomycin was added at 50 g/ton to starter and 60 g/ton to grower feeds (0-35 d). The 42-d BW were respectively 1.861 b , 1.929 ab , and 1.962 a kg (p=0.021; 1-way ANOVA, LSD). The 0-42 d mortality-adjusted FCR were respectively 1.938 a , 1.878 ab , and 1.796 b (p=0.035). The 0-42 d mortality % were respectively 8.33, 5.00, and 6.25 (p=0.216). A 47-d pen trial with 600 Hubbard x Cobb 500 chicks (10 pens of 20 chicks each/treatment) used 3 dietary treatments: 1) negative control (NC; corn-soy-DDGS- animal protein blend diets); 2) BMD ® 25 g/ton 0-29 d and Stafac ® 10 g/ton 29-47 d; and 3) BMD ® /Stafac ® plus CSP (3x10 5 cfu/g feed), and 1x Q-MOS ™ . Composted litter was used. During 29-47 d, outdoor temperatures reached 37.2-46.1°C. The 47-d BW were respectively 2.932, 2.957, and 3.064 kg (p=0.085; 1-way ANOVA, LSD). The 0-47 d mortality-adjusted FCR were respectively 1.882, 1.868, and 1.878 (p=0.933) and to a common BW (NC) were 1.882, 1.860, and 1.836 (p=0.606). The 0-47 d mortality % were respectively 8.50, 7.00, and 7.5 (p=0.606). In a 42-d trial, FC of CSP plus Q-MOS ® fed broilers was significantly lower than NC. In the 42-d and 47-d trials, BW of CSP plus Q-MOS ™ fed broilers were heavier than their respective NC broilers.

A 42-d pen summer trial with high stocking density used 720 Hubbard M99 x Cobb 500 chicks fed 3 treatments: 1) negative control (NC); 2) CALSPORIN® (CSP; 3x105 cfu/g feed); and 3) CSP plus 1x Q-MOS™. Q-MOS™ is a proprietary Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall derived product. 8 pens of 30 chicks /treatment were placed. Initial stocking density of 0.062 m2 (0.67 ft2) per bird was decreased by 10% at 21 d. At 7 d and 21 d used litter was added to each pen. Corn-soy-DDGS-meat and bone meal diets were used.
