“…The use of antibiotics in poultry, as in other agricultural sectors, has been very widespread since the discovery of antibiotics. The main uses of antibiotics in poultry are the treatment and prevention of diseases, as well as growth promoters (Abudabos, Al-Batshan, & Murshed, 2015;Al-Khalaifa et al, 2019;Reuben et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2016).…”

“…The European Union has banned the use of human antibiotics in animals as growth promoters since 2006 (Djuric, 2005). Since that ban, producers in the European Union have been facing various problems, such as reduced growth rates, dysbacteriosis and enteritis caused by various pathogens (Palamidi, 2016;Reuben, 2021). Therefore, substitutes for antibiotics are being sought.…”

“…etc., reduces attachment sites and nutrients to the pathogenic microflora. Probiotics promote the development and growth of intestinal beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract, thus improving the functioning of the intestinal barrier (Adhikari & Kim, 2017;Jha, 2020;Reuben et al, 2021) and improving feed digestibility. Due to the ability of probiotics to suppress the pathogenic microflora, it is possible to prevent the development of various diseases, such as salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis and coccidiosis (Markowiak & Slizewska, 2018).…”

The issue of antibiotic resistance has become more pressing in the last decades. Therefore, substitutes for antibiotics are being sought. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of the mixture x of lactic acid bacteria on development of the broiler chicken digestive tract and the growth. The study was organised in three trials. In each trial, 260 one day old Ross 308 broiler chicks (males and females) were obtained from a commercial hatchery. They were randomly divided in two groups – the control group and the probiotic group. The dietary treatment was basal diet for the control group and basal diet + the mixture X of lactic acid bacteria 4 g 10 kg-1 for the probiotic group. Broilers were raised till day 35. All broilers were weighted on the day 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 10 birds per treatment were randomly selected and killed by cervical dislocation. The gastrointestinal tract was excised (proventriculus, gizzard, intestines) and weighed with content. Overall, this study achieved significant results of the body weight results in the probiotic and the control groups, 2,835.7g ±161.74 and 2,828.02±115.64, respectively. The body weight of chickens and their gastrointestinal tract parts (proventriculus, gizzard, intestines) did not differ between the probiotic and control groups (p > 0.05).

Poultry production is facing severe losses due to the development of resistance against most of the available antimicrobials in treating various diseases. Moreover, social stigma against the use of antibiotics is also there. As, the welfare of animals, the environment, food safety and hygiene are also important factors. Something is needed that would meet all these stigmas and still be able to provide the best growth, immunity against diseases, peak production, disease treatment and reduce economic pressure. In the recent era, the use of biological products to replace synthetic products is highly recommended i.e., probiotics. Probiotics provide all the necessary activity needed to enhance the production and performance of poultry. Moreover, probiotics meet all the food safety and eco-friendly parameters. Probiotics enhance the gut flora, improve immunity, increase the activity of digestive enzymes by decreasing the production of ammonia, bind with enterotoxins & neutralizing them and as a result improve feed intake which directly affects the performance and production of the poultry. The purpose of this article is to review the performance of probiotics as a better alternative to antibiotics in the production of poultry.
