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.

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...

INTRODUCTION Sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics have been used in feed as growth promoters (AGP) in poultry and other species in an attempt to control enteric diseases and improve feed conversion since the 1940s. However, the indiscriminate use of AGPs in production animals has resulted in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, which has serious human health implications. With the recent FDA guidance to voluntarily reduce antibiotics for the use of growth promotion,...

Abstract
Necrotic enteritis (NE) caused by Clostridium perfringens (CP) is a devasting bacterial disease responsible for economic losses, by increasing mortality because of damage to the broiler small intestine. Since ban of antibiotics use as growth promoters (AGPs) in some markets like in Europe and no antibiotic ever programs (NAE) in U.S., economic losses have become more prevalent. To prevent NE, supplementing probiotics and prebiotics in feed has been...

Abstract
Many species of Bacillus are used as probiotics in animal feed not only due their proven effect on health and performance of animals, but also the resistance of the spores to the high temperature of the feed manufacturing process. After the spore is ingested by the host it needs to germinate to be metabolically active and provide a benefit to the animal. The germination time of a spore varies significantly depending on the environmental conditions...

The last two decades the broiler industry in India has made a good deal of progress. However, if we compare the growth performance of broiler poultry birds reared at cold, arid high altitude Himalayas with the performance of poultry birds in the rest of the country the picture is very gloomy. The major constraint for this difference in the growth could be attributed to stressful environmental conditions in this region, which are characterized by extreme climatic conditions, hypobaric...
