Probio-FM is a superior probiotic that has been enriched with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from the digestive tract of geese with a bacterial count of 1010–1011 cfu/mL. The purpose of this study was to determine the best combination of probiotics and phytobiotics with improved performance, the ability to reduce the cases of intestinal dysbiosis, lower cholesterol and saturated fat with an increase in unsaturated fat in broiler meat. The treatments were T0 = without Probio_FM and phytobiotics, T1 = Probio_FM + Curcuma longa, T2 = Probio_FM + turmeric, T3 = Probio_FM + ginger and T4 = Probio_FM + combined (Curcuma longa, turmeric and ginger). The experimental design used was a completely randomised design with five treatments in four replicates. All variables measured were analysed for variance using analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), then if differences were found, it was continued with the DMRT test. The results showed that probiotics and phytobiotics significantly (P < 0.05) affected ration consumption, body weight gain, ration conversion, mortality, small intestinal dysbiosis, total cholesterol, triglycerides and blood LDL of broilers, but had no effect on blood HDL levels. It markedly (P < 0.05) decreased saturated fat and insignificantly (P > 0.05) increased unsaturated fat. This study concluded that small intestine dysbiosis as well as cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and saturated fat levels in broiler meat.
