Eighty Lohmann White laying hens were used to investigate the effect of dietary inclusion of Bacillus subtilis and inulin, individually or in combination, on egg production, eggshell quality, tibia traits, Ca retention, and small intestine morphology and microflora composition from 64 to 75 weeks of age. Hens were randomly distributed into 4 treatment groups, with 5 replicates per treatment and 4 hens per replicate. Treatment groups were fed basal diet (control), basal diet plus 1 g/kg B. subtilis (2.3 x 10(8) cfu/g), basal diet plus 1 g/kg inulin, or basal diet plus a synbiotic combination of 1 g/kg B. subtilis (2.3 X 10(8) cfu/g) and 1 g/kg inulin. Dietary supplementation of B. subtilis, inulin or synbiotic improved (P
