The effect of Turbo Tox^® on growth rate and feed conversion ratio in comparison with antibiotic was investigated on broiler. The experimental treatments are shown in Table 1.

Result is investigating the positive effect of Turbo Tox on final weight (Figure 1) and feed conversion ratio (Figure 2)

It is concluded that using Turbo Tox® as Non-Antibiotic growth promoter improved (P < 0.05) growth rate with the highest rate for treatment with 1.5 kg per ton of feed. 1.5 kg per ton of feed has lower FCR as well.
