Abstract. Modern research is aimed at finding new nutritional components that can improve growth without harm to the body. Probiotic drugs are common additives in poultry farming. Probiotics in bird feeding are used to increase growth and productivity. The paper presents the results of an experimental study to assess the effect on the body of broiler chickens of the Arbor Acres cross of a two-component probiotic based on Lactobacillus acidophilus (1×106 CFU) and Bifidobacterium adolescentis (1×108 CFU) strains using different dosages: for the I experimental – 2 g/kg of feed, for the II experimental – 4 g/kg of feed and for the III experimental – 6 g/kg of feed. Positive dynamics of chicken growth was noted, starting from the 2nd week of the study. The live weight in the experimental groups at the end of the experiment exceeded the control from 4.9% to 17.8%. Studying the biochemical parameters of blood, a decrease in cholesterol levels relative to control was found by 13.5% (P£0.01), 10.4% (P£0.01) and 22.4% (P£0.01) in the I, II and III experimental groups and triglyceride levels by 20% (P£0.05) in the III experimental group. In addition, a decrease in lymphocytes by 28.2% (P£0.05) was recorded for the III experimental group. We noted that the mineral composition of blood of chickens in the experimental groups did not differ from the control, with the exception of iron by 12.7% (P£0.01) in the II experimental group. The probiotic supplement had the most important effect on the protein content in the muscle tissue of  chickens,  the  level  of  which  was higher than the control by 10.6% (P£0.05) and by 12.9% (P£0.05) in the I and III experimental groups. Based on the results, it was concluded that the additional inclusion of a two-component probiotic supplement in the diet of broiler chickens at a dosage of 2 g/kg of feed leads to the greatest increase in poultry without having a negative effect on blood parameters.
