Alternative Growth Promoters Modulate Broiler Gut Microbiome and Enhance Body Weight Gain

Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) are frequently used to enhance weight-gain in poultry production. However, there has been increasing concern over the impact of AGP on the emergence of antibiotic resistance in zoonotic bacterial pathogens in the microbial community of the poultry gut. In this study, we adopted mass-spectrophotometric, phylogenetic, and shotgun-metagenomic approaches to evalua...

Antibiotic Growth Promoters in animal production

Performance of Probiotics: an Alternative to Antibiotic in Broiler Production

During the last 5 to 6 decades antibiotics have been used in an increasing amount in the field of poultry production. Antibiotics are used for treatments and as growth promoters. Now-a-days there is an increasing demand to produce antibiotic free poultry and livestock. For this purpose in my experiment the chickens were fed Probiotics at the first day before providing them any feed. In the case...

Comparative Study of Probiotic, Acidifier, Antibiotic Growth Promoters and Prebiotic on Activity of HumoralImmune and Performance Parameters of Broiler Chickens

The aims of this study were the comparative study of probiotic, acidifier,antibiotic growth promoters and prebiotic on activity of humoral immune and performance parameters of broiler chickens.500 one day old male broilers (308 Ross strain) were divided into 5 groups: A, B, C, D and E. Each group with equal numbers of male included 4 replicates (25 chicks per replicate). Group A was as control ...
