Potential effects of probiotics on animal production and health; Evaluating practical aspects with its status

Abstract

Probiotics have gained importance in recent years as a viable substitute to antibiotics for boosting livestock performance. A detailed literature work was collected through retrieved data from online sources like MEDLINE, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Along with enhanced nutrient digestibility and immunomodulation, probiotics have reflected an enormous reduction in gastrointestinal tract infection through in-feed usage. Although, each of the novel probiotic strain could not remain presumed to part a perspective of historical safety with standard typical strains. Harmful effects of probiotics can be dependent on prevailing immunological conditions, strain specified, along with the physiological conditions of the host. The utmost important consideration is the strain's strength. Probiotics state an effective chance of replacing antibiotics in animals, their safety measures should have been adhered to for safety concerns.
