Bacteriophage technology is not new, nothing great about it, i know Dr L R Sood of BE (Hyderabad) and Dr Basu of Kasauli, used to work on effects of phage on Salmonella and Ecoli during the late 1970 and early 1980's, in the lab it gives results, results in the poultry industry are questionable.

Bacteriophage seems to be a proven technology to tackle bacteria alternative to antibiotics and blind folded use of phytogens. Unless some body comes up with some mutations and raises zoonotic angles.

Concept is good but it is bacteria specific, means if we want to control salmonella it needs to use bacteriophage which is working salmonella only, If we need to control E.coli we have to use bacteriophage for E.coli mean specific bacteriophage for specific bacteria,
But in poultry feed many bacteria which are poultry pathogens like clostridium. We can not use bacteriophage which is used against salmonella to kill Clostridium.
If possible one bacteriophage able to kill multiple bacteria then it will best one.
Otherwise needs to use cocktail of bacteriophages which will be results-oriented and economic.
