Abstract
A study was conducted from March to April 2001 on three series of EM Extended
groups and two control groups to determine the influence of EM solutions
on the productivity of broilers (COBB race). The EM group did not need
vaccinations or stalling prophylacties while the control group required
Gumbora-vaccination, chemical disinfection and stalling prophylactics with
Baytril. Cost of production for 1000 units of the experimental group was
Euro 12.31 compared to Euro 20.33 for the control animals. An itemized
detailed cost structure also confirmed that the treated group was more
economical.
