Abstract:
The overuse of antibiotics in animal production is one of the most important sources of multidrug resistant bacteria becoming an enormous risk for the public health. The reduction of antibiotics use is essential, but more research is needed to find alternatives with a similar mode of action. Probiotics are considered promising alternatives due to their immunomodulation and antimicrobial capacities improving the efficiency and animal health. In this regard, this study was focuses on the analysis of beneficial effects of 3 selected probiotic strains on the performance and immune parameters of poultry when they are challenged with a proinflammatory diet
