Immuno-Modulation and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Antibiotic Growth Promoters Versus Probiotics in the Intestinal Tract
Published: August 18, 2017
Summary
INTRODUCTION
Antibiotics are considered growth promoters when administered at non-therapeutic (low) concentrations in the feed of food animals to stimulate growth and improve feed efficiency (Costa et al., 2011; Lin et al., 2013). Antibiotics growth promoters (AGP) in the feed of different animal species has been used for more than 60 years in the United States, as well as in other c...

Good scientific report,
in practical conditions, it is difficult to control pathogens with probiotics alone. To control pathogenic bacteria we need to add different organic acids with the combination of probiotics, phytochemicals and essential oils then we may get equivalent performance as we get with AGPs, but cost will shoot up in multifold.
Countries where there is an AGP ban have been adopting these methods in alternatives to AGPs, but in ASIA in particular India, producers are using AGPs, therapeutic antibiotics indiscriminately, for some time over dose and for some time under dose etc... That's the reason the some of the common bacteria are developing resistance against human consuming antibiotics and becoming Super Bug...
