Abstract :

ABSTRACT Probiotics are living microorganisms that promote immunity and the overall health of the poultry. Several strains, particularly Lactobacilli and Clostridiaceae play a role in sustaining the gut flora that ultimately supports the immune response in the poultry. Probiotics compete with harmful pathogens and can be used as an alternative to chemotherapeutic drugs to avoid the negative impacts of antibiotics. Moreover, by using probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics, issues like antibiotic resistance can be overcome. Furthermore, probiotics increase immunity by stimulating T helpers and B cells and promote the overall production of poultry. Additionally, probiotics provide a supportive environment that aids in maintaining the normal physiological function of the intestinal flora. This article highlights the beneficial effects of administrating probiotics, comprising lowering the load of diseases and antibiotic resistance, mitigating stress and enhancing the immunity of poultry birds. Keywords: Poultry Probiotics, Intestinal Flora, Mitigate Stress, Immunity Booster, Healthy Production
