“…For several years, AGPs have been used to prevent the economic losses in the animal industry. But antibiotic resistance in food animal and antibiotic residues in animal products has generated public health concerns (Martinez-Vaz et al, 2014) .In this circumstance, probiotics have been categorized as one of the alternatives in animal feed (Gyles, 2007), preventing the production of E. coliin in the intestine, and to reduce the incidence of diarrhoea in ruminants (Reid and Friendship, 2002;Bahari, 2017;Markowiak and Śliżewska, 2018). However, the phenomenon of probiotics in gut microbiota currently remains unclear.…”

“…However, the phenomenon of probiotics in gut microbiota currently remains unclear. The most common probiotics species, lactobacillus, bifidobacterium and yeast strains have been well documented in rumen development and gestrointestinal health status (Uyeno et al, 2010;Bahari, 2017). LAB strains modulate rumen microbiota (Weinberg et al, 2004;Han et al, 2014;Goto et al, 2016), increased the DMI, WG and improved animal health.…”

“…Moreover, LAB strains may inhibit the adhesion of pathogens to gut mucosa during the initial days of colonization Bahari, 2017). It has been investigated that feed containing Lactobacillus species had increased WG and immunocompetence in young calves (Al-Saiady, 2012).…”

The term gut health is currently becoming more important for domestic animals including poultry. Gut health refers to the fundamental organ system which covers multiple positive functions like effective digestion, stabilizing intestinal microbiota, gut pH and modulation of effective immune response. Gut health depends on proper balance of microbial population. A wide range of feed and pathogen associated factors influence this balance, and adversely affect the animal health status and production performance. Antibiotic stimulators have been used in farm animals to achieve maximum production. But drug resistance and residual effects of antibiotics in animal products (milk, meat and egg etc.) have raised serious issues in human life. Therefore, The European Union (EU) has strictly banned the application of antibiotic stimulators in livestock nutrition in several others countries including China. As a result, an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters are required to support the profitable and sustainable animal production system. Probiotics as nutraceuticals has been categorized as an alternative natural feed supplement for commercial utilization. Such products have been recognized as safe feed additives in animal industry. Very few studies have comparatively described the effect of probiotics on gut health of domestic animals. Therefore, the aim of this review is not only to explore the beneficial effects of probiotics in improving gut health of domestic animals as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters, but also to evaluate the probiotics associated health and risk factors, and to provide comprehensive scientific information for researchers, scientists and commercial producers.

“…In a mini review article [40], it was reported that probiotic live cells with different beneficial characteristics have been extensively studied and explored commercially in many different products in the world. Their benefits to young ruminants have been supported in several scientific articles.…”

“…Thus, the more feed an animal consumes each day, the greater would be the opportunity for increasing its daily production. Probiotic supplementation was found to increase feed intake and to influence performance of ruminants [40]. Also, the use of probiotics in a healthy animal stimulated nonspecific immune response and enhanced the system of immune protection.…”

This study reviews the current and future trends in the improvements being made in livestock nutrition and feed resources. There had been continuous improvements in global livestock production for past decades. Most of the improvements have been in response to increasing human populations, urbanization, income growth, production system efficiency, and environmental sustainability. To meet up with the increasing global demand for livestock products was the role earmarked to be played by animal nutritionists in a manner that there would be optimization of feed efficiency to achieve more livestock products from less feed. There has been the development and adoption of biotechnological applications such as the feeding of genetically modified plants and the use of in-feed additives such as antibiotics. In the past decades, the livestock feed industry had been centered on the use of antibiotics as livestock growth promoters. However, there has also been the negative development of microbial antibiotic resistance with various countries promulgating laws and regulations to ban and discourage in-feed antibiotic applications in the livestock feed industry. Thus, present and future improvements in livestock nutrition and feed resources are now being directed at the use of approved probiotics and the application of nanotechnology in livestock nutrition and feeding.
