Probiotic species belonging to Bacillus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Bifidobacterium, Candida, Saccharomyces and Aspergillus are used in poultry applications and are expected to have beneficial effects on broiler performance.

Poultry feed accounts for almost 70% of the total production cost and therefore, it is necessary to improve feed efficiency with minimum cost. In poultry industry, chicks are subjected to microflora environment and may get infected. Broiler chickens can also get succumbed to stress owing to production pressure. Under such scenario, synthetic antimicrobial agents and antibiotics are used to alleviate stress and improve feed efficiency. However, antibiotics in poultry applications are becoming undesirable owing to residues in meat products and development of antibiotic resistant properties.

Europe has banned antibiotics use as growth promoting agents in poultry application owing to several negative effects.

Its use is specially recommended for newly hatched chicks and alternative to antibiotic therapy. Its use in poultry applications can prevent early mortality, appetite loss, scouring, poor nutrient absorption, improper digestion and infections. These factors can improve production efficiency and prevent economic loss to poultry producers.

They improve egg production & quality, egg albumen quality, intestinal microbial balance, nutrients absorption and helps in maintaining lower yolk cholesterol level.
