Prospect of Probiotics in broiler chickens

Broiler with a fairly short lifespan, has a colony in the intestines of
very sensitive and need to upgrade its setting body. The usual way
to protect young chickens is by administration of antibiotics or with
use AGPS (Antibiotic Growth Promotors) need attention. However, some countries
Europe and America, have made restrictions on the use of antibiotics. Even in
In 2006 the EU banned the use of AGPS. This is done to prevent the occurrence of

 the use of antibiotic resistance and avoid the negative influence of antibiotics in humans.

Use of antibiotics in poultry can participate sneak into livestock products (meat and
eggs), so that accumulated there and the residue. Residue has an effect
less beneficial to the health of consumers, among other things, and bacterial resistance
sensitivity to the consumer.

Antibiotics can disturb the balance of microbes
in the host digestive tract. As one of the alternatives is by giving
probiotics, because it has no negative side effects when given in doses
appropriate. In the digestive tract, there are about 100-400 species of microbes that are grouped
on the beneficial microbes and harmful (pathogens). In a normal environment,
intestinal tract of chicks colonized with microorganisms. Generally the source of microflora
intestine is from the surface of eggs that are not sterile as a result of holding contacts with the cage.

On commercial farms, colonization in the intestinal tract has to do with cleanliness in
hatchery and contact-free environment. At age 21 days, broilers can set
the balance of intestinal flora. After the age of 21 days challenge, such as stress, change of feed and
provision of medicines such as antibiotics can disturb the flora in the gastrointestinal tract and
cause losses. If the intestinal tract is colonized by harmful microbes will
impact of pathogens to the body.
