Antibiotics, a feed additive, have been widely used in livestock diets for several decades due to their therapeutic effects. However, a few countries have limited the use of certain antibiotics due to concerns that using antibiotics as feed additives contribute to increased bacterial antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, from 2006 onward, the European Union (EU) prohibited the use of antibiotics as feed additives. As a result of the shift in customer demand for safe food production and regulatory concerns regarding antibiotics, growth-promoting additives have ensured a search for natural strategies to modulate gut development and health. Moreover, probiotics, prebiotics, and essential oils have been suggested as antibiotic alternatives, as probiotics are live microbial feed supplements that beneficially affect the host by improving intestinal microbial balance. The use of probiotics as a possible alternative to antibiotics has received renewed interest due to the legislation prohibiting the use of sub-therapeutic amounts of antibiotics. Probiotic is a generic term, and products can contain yeast cells, bacterial cultures, or both that stimulate microorganisms capable of modifying the gastrointestinal environment to improve health and feed efficiency.
