The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets containing probiotic and simbiotic on the performance of piglets from 21 to 49 days, intestinal microorganisms and weight of organs. In this study there were used 120 crossbred piglets, weaned at 21 days of age, alloted in randomized blocks design, with three treatments (antibiotic, probiotic and simbiotic) and five replicates, being the experimental unit represented by the pen, where eight piglets were hosted. In the period from 21 to 35 days of age no difference was observed (P>0.05) for the performance results. In the period from 36 to 49 days could be observed a higher daily weight gain (P<0.01) for the antibiotic treatment. A higher count of lactic bacteria was observed (P<0.05) in the colon content, in piglets with 35 days of age, for the probiotic treatment. The relative organs weight was not influenced (P>0.05) by the treatments. The use of probiotic and simbiotic in the diets was effective for piglets from 21 to 35 days of age for performance and coliform count in the ileum and large gut, and from 36 to 49 days of age the use of antibiotic in the diet was better for the performance parameters.
