Non anti biotic growth promoters like acidifiers,prebiotic and probiotics,essential oils and herbal products are very much in practice particularly in India where I am from,the mode of action of acidifiers are to increase the pH level in feed,intestine,and gut to create an environment where pH sensitive bacteria will not survive,and some ingredients like permeabilizers weakens the cell wall of the pathogenic bacteria so acids penetrate easily inside the cell to create negative energy situation, Certainly probiotics have an excellent impact on Poultry production by way of competitive exclusion of pathogenic bacteria,pH reduction,competition for food ,production of antibacterials,immuno modulation etc lot more benefits observed in growth of the chicken,even in processing benefits probiotics really give huge advantage over non usage of them, Essential oils& herbal extracts like cinnamon,cardomom, curcumin etc inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and support he epithelial tissues to produce more mucus to trap the pathogenic bacteria and keep intact the tight junction of the gut, Combination of acidifiers,probiotics and essential oils give wonderful results and can replace antibiotic growth promoters confidently,but one thing is that we must control mycoplasma to get maximum benefit out of these NAGPs,
