“…Probiotics can promote the digestion of protein and minerals through dietary acidification, influence the pH value of the chicken's gut, enhance the release of digestive enzymes, inhibit pathogenic bacteria, increase intestinal barrier integrity, and improve growth performance. Bacillus subtilis affects the growth performance, gut health, and immune response of chickens by increasing the concentration of butyric, valeric, propionic, and isobutyric acids in the gut and by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors [150,151]. Meanwhile, strains of spore-forming bacteria are beneficial to chicken growth, increasing ADG and reducing chicken mortality rates by 8% [142].…”

In recent years, the important role of gut microbiota in promoting animal health and regulating immune function in livestock and poultry has been widely reported. The issue of animal health problems causes significant economic losses each year. Probiotics and postbiotics have been widely developed as additives due to their beneficial effects in balancing host gut microbiota, enhancing intestinal epithelial barrier, regulating immunity, and whole‐body metabolism. Probiotics and postbiotics are composed of complex ingredients, with different components and compositions having different effects, requiring classification for discussing their mechanisms of action. Probiotics and postbiotics have considerable prospects in preventing various diseases in the livestock industry and animal feed and medical applications. This review highlights the application value of probiotics and postbiotics as potential probiotic products, emphasizing their concept, mechanism of action, and application, to improve the productivity of livestock and poultry.
