Dietary Pattern Effects Of Probiotics On Health And Productivity Of Livestock…Review The Field Studies

Abstract

The long-term use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of drug resistance, threatening the health of animals and consumers alike and harming the environment. Therefore, researchers have been working on the use of beneficial microorganisms or substances that can benefit these microorganisms for proper functioning, called probiotics and prebiotics, as well as the synergistic interactions calledsynbiotics. Probiotics act as a nutritional supplement; they are live therapeutic agents that enhance immunity, reduce the need for antibiotics, and decrease the incidence of infections and diseases. Probiotics achieve internal balance in the microbial ecosystem, improving the microbial ecology of the digestive tract, which enhances feed conversion efficiency. This promotes healthy growth and enhances milk production. Probiotic supplements have also been shown to improve cognitive behavior and reduce stress.This review presents previous field studies about probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics, and discusses their potential as a promising nutritional model for maintaining livestock health, increasing production, and protecting consumer and environmental health. Furthermore, this study identifies the criteria for these substances to be adhered to.
