Abstract

The utilization of probiotics in poultry production has an increased interest in recent years, driven by the need for sustainable and efficient poultry farming practices to meet the growing demand for poultry products globally. Concurrently, the poultry industry faces significant challenges, including the threat of Salmonella infections, which can have severe effects on poultry health, food safety, and human well-being. This paper explores probiotics for poultry and their potential to reduce the risk of Salmonella infections and mitigate antibiotic resistance. It reviews the mechanisms which probiotics may control Salmonella and presents important criteria for selecting effective probiotics in poultry. The paper also addresses various studies highlighting the additional benefits of probiotics in poultry production. While probiotics offer promise in enhancing poultry well-being, challenges and limitations in their use must also be considered. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights of probiotics in poultry health and their potential to safeguard animal welfare and human health while optimizing poultry production.
