Antibiotics, often supplemented in feed, used as a growth promoter, may cause their residual effect in animal produce and also trigger antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which is of serious concern among swine farming entrepreneurs. As an alternative, supplementing probiotics gained interest in recent years. Lactobacillus being the most commonly used probiotic agent improves growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, nutrient utilization, intestinal microbiota, gut health and regulates immune system in pigs. The characteristics of Lactobacillus spp. and their probiotic effects in swine production are reviewed here under.

“…There is large number of Bifidobacterium in animal guts, and its state is an indicator to measure the health of the host [12]. Studies have shown that Bifidobacterium has abilities to inhibit harmful bacteria, modulate the composition of intestinal microbial, improve gastrointestinal barrier function, and promote the growth performance of animals [13][14][15].…”

Probiotics can improve animal health by regulating intestinal flora balance, improving the structure of the intestinal mucosa, and enhancing intestinal barrier function. At present, the use of probiotics has been a research hotspot in prevention and treatment of different diseases at home and abroad. This review has summarized the researchers and applications of probiotics in prevention and treatment of swine diseases, and elaborated the relevant mechanisms of probiotics, which aims to provide a reference for probiotics better applications to the prevention and treatment of swine diseases.

“…Many bifidobacteria are generally used as probiotics in human food and in pharmaceutical formulations [27]. Many of these germs have "GRAS" ("Generally Regarded As Safe") status [33]. Used as a feed additive in piglets, the species Bifidobacterium pseudolongum have shown significant results on a better food conversion ratio (FCR) with no differences in final weight, weight gain, and feed intake [33].…”

Used as a feed additive in piglets, the species Bifidobacterium pseudolongum have shown significant results on a better food conversion ratio (FCR) with no differences in final weight, weight gain, and feed intake [33]. In poultry, the species Bifidobacterium animalis, Bifidobacterium thermophilum, and Bifidobacterium longum, used as food additive have, respectively, demonstrated their ability to reduce coccidiosis in broiler chickens infected with Eimeria tenella [17,18], to have protective activity against Salmonella and Listeria species in vitro and against E. coli in chicken [34], and an anti-Campylobacter activity [35].…”

The use of probiotics in animal feeding for safe production and as potential alternatives to antibiotics

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although the production of safe food for human consumption is the primary purpose for animal rearing, the environment and well-being of the animals must also be taken into consideration. Based on microbiological point of view, the production of healthy food from animals involves considering foodborne pathogens, on the one hand and on the other hand, the methods used to fight against germs during breeding. The conventional method to control or prevent bacterial infections in farming is the use antibiotics. However, the banning of these compounds as growth promoters caused many changes in animal breeding and their use has since been limited to the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. In this function, their importance no longer needs to be demonstrated, but unfortunately, their excessive and abusive use have led to a double problem which can have harmful consequences on consumer health: Resistance to antibiotics and the presence of antibiotic residues in food. The use of probiotics appears to be a suitable alternative to overcome these problems because of their ability to modulate the immune system and intestinal microflora, and further considering their antagonistic role against certain pathogenic bacteria and their ability to play the role of growth factor (sometimes associated with prebiotics) when used as feed additives. This review aims to highlight some of the negative effects of the use of antibiotics in animal rearing as well as emphasize the current knowledge on the use of probiotics as a feed additive, their influence on animal production and their potential utility as an alternative to conventional antibiotics, particularly in poultry, pig, and fish farming.
