Abstract

This study was aimed to isolate indigenous strains of Lactic Acid Bacteria from Indian backyard chickens. Lactic Acid Bacteria are known for good probiotic potential and commonly used to improve intestinal health of human and animals. A total of 18 Isolates were isolated from chicken fecal sample collected from backyard poultry. 05 out of 18 Isolates showed antagonistic effect against poultry pathogenic S. Entertidis and E. coli. The morphological, biochemical properties and carbohydrate fermentation pattern indicated that, the presence of species belongs to Genus Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and Streptococcus. All these genera are part of Lactic Acid Bacteria group. Further probiotic potential studies would strengthen the use of these strains as possible alternative for antibiotic growth promoters.
