Probiotics and prebiotics in poultry nutrition
Under normal circumstances, there is a delicate balance of beneficial and pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). This is influenced by symbiotic and competitive interactions and relationships. The microbial communities will not only protect the GIT but also enhance productivity in the host. The use of probiotics and prebiotics are two approaches that have been examined and can potentially reduce enteric diseases in poultry and also enhance their productivity. These substances have been proposed to assist in the prevention of carcass contamination and improve the immune response in the chicken. Probiotics have been defined as 'a live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host animal by improving its intestinal balance' (Fuller, 1989). The probiotic mode of action is by 'competitive exclusion', meaning there is competition for attachment sites in the GIT.
1. Introduction The use of probiotics has become a field of science, medicine and business that is growing rapidly. In agricultural science, probiotic, prebiotics, feed enzymes and organic acids, have been seen as potential alternatives to in-feed antibiotics (IFA) (Choct, 2002). The addition of either...

Poultry production systems are highly challenging. They are affected by environmental factors like temperature, ventilation, population density and other stressing agents (Rocha et al. , 2014). Additionally, pathogens and mycotoxins are constantly present, which may reduce or affect the immune response of broilers. Broilers have a large amount of lymphoid tissue and immune system cells in the intestinal mucosa, which is known as GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue) and forms...

Recently, many studies have been investigating the impact of antibiotics on the gut microbiota, and researchers have shown that, in addition to altering the composition of the microbiota, antibiotics also can affect the gene expression, protein activity and the overall metabolism of the intestinal microbiota. Microbial changes caused by antibiotics, increase the immediate risk of infection and can also affect basic immunological homeostasis in the...

INTRODUCTION Now a day, there are limitations on the use of antibiotic because of its resistance development after prolonged consumption. So there is constant search and development for the new other alternatives such as prebiotics, probiotics and phytobiotics 1-4 . The principal site for digestion, nutrient assimilation and energy harvest is small intestine. These absorbed nutrients are directly contributing to the body weight gain. While, in large intestine water is...

Introduction Increasing scientific awareness of the role of some intestinal bacteria in promoting health and improving production has enhanced the use of probiotic bacteria as active functional ingredients in animal and human nutrition. Delivery of probiotic strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB)to poultry may be mediated by addition to either the water or the feed. Added benefit may be obtained if the feed is allowed to ferment to produce a feed containing at least 150 mmol...

Natural killer (NK) cells, an important component of innate immunity, are a distinct lineage of lymphocytes defined by the expression of CD56 and NKp46 and by the absence of CD3, providing a first line of defense against pathogens and cancer in a non-major-histocompatibility-complex- (MHC-) restricted fashion without the need of prior sensitization. Derived from the bone marrow, NK cells have wide tissue distribution, with high frequencies of mature ones in lung, liver, blood and spleen....

Abstract
Since the ban of using antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in livestock in several countries, probiotics have been considered as possible alternative. Spore forming bacteria that belong to Bacillus species are one of those probiotics selected for their ability to resist adverse environmental and nutritional conditions such as, low pH in the stomach and high temperature of the feed manufacturing process. Our study aims at comparing the effects of two doses of...

INTRODUCTION In the modern intensive production environment, multiple broiler flocks are commonly raised on a single batch of litter where day-old chickens are placed directly on used litter (Volkova et al., 2009). Litter is mainly composed of the bedding materials, feather, manure, the spilled feed and microbiota. Bolan et al. (2010) stated that microbial populations in poultry litter can exceed 10 10 cells per g of litter and gram positive bacteria account for almost...

Abstract
Necrotic enteritis is a major cause of economic loss in the poultry industry. Although necrotic enteritis can be effectively prevented by antibiotics, the industry is moving towards an antibiotic free program. This results in the need for effective antibiotic alternatives against necrotic enteritis. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a Bacillus (3 strains) spore-based probiotic in improving performance in broiler birds...
