Abstract:
As drug resistance in microbial population increases, researchers are investigating novel natural antibiotics and alternative substances that can be employed safely in both humans and animals. These alternatives strive to sustain a healthy gut microbiome and obstruct the adhesion of harmful organisms at premature life milestones. The use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and their derivatives such as para probiotics and postbiotics have proven to be effective in promoting growth and preventing enteric pathogens. Postbiotics have been observed to possess a range of beneficial properties, including immunostimulation, anti-inflammation, antioxidant abilities, antimicrobial effects and promotion of growth. Nevertheless, there is not much information about how postbiotics can be used in animals or the poultry industry; therefore this review article seeks to bring greater understanding to those possibilities.
