Bacillus probiotics: an alternative to antibiotics for livestock production.
S. Mingmongkolchai,W. Panbangred +1 more
TL;DR: Although the mechanism of action of Bacillus probiotics has not been fully elucidated, they are effective in improving the growth, survival and health status of terrestrial and aquatic livestock and can reduce nitrogenous waste, thereby improving environmental conditions and water quality.

Alternatives to Antibiotics to Prevent Necrotic Enteritis in Broiler Chickens: A Microbiologist's Perspective.
TL;DR: Recent developments in novel preventive treatments against C. perfringens-induced necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens that employ yeasts, bacteria and bacteriophages or secondary metabolites and other microbial products in disease control are reviewed.

Towards the control of necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens with in-feed antibiotics phasing-out worldwide
TL;DR: Among all the alternatives investigated, prebiotics, organic acids and vaccination have shown improved gastrointestinal health and thus, have potential for the control of NE.

Effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens-based Direct-fed Microbial on Performance, Nutrient Utilization, Intestinal Morphology and Cecal Microflora in Broiler Chickens
TL;DR: It can be concluded that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens-based DFM could be an alternative to the use of AGPs in broilers diets based on plant protein.

A review on prebiotics and probiotics for the control of dysbiosis: present status and future perspectives.
TL;DR: This review examines the currently available data from both animal and human nutrition that document the potential and limitations of prebiotics and probiotics for the control of dysbiosis and reveals the complexity of the interactions taking place in the lower intestinal tract, illustrating that pre- and probiotic cannot be a simple replacement for growth-promoting antibiotics.

Probiotics in human medicine.
TL;DR: The revised definition of the term 'probiotic' was revised and the evidence for the effect of live preparations on the human host was considered and some evidence from work with animals is presented which is helpful in understanding the potential benefits of this sort of treatment.

Effects of dietary fructooligosaccharide on digestive enzyme activities, intestinal microflora and morphology of male broilers
TL;DR: Two hundred forty male Avian Farms broiler chicks, 1 d of age, were randomly allocated to four treatments, each of which had five pens of 12 chicks per pen, to investigate the effects of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on digestive enzyme activities and intestinal microflora and morphology.

Effects of dietary inclusion of probiotic and synbiotic on growth performance, organ weights, and intestinal histomorphology of broiler chickens
TL;DR: The dietary supplementations resulted in an increase in the villus height and crypt depth of intestinal mucosa of broilers and associated with improvement of growth performance for both synbiotic and probiotic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology and pathophysiology of intestinal absorption
TL;DR: Final digestion and absorption of carbohydrates (CHO) occur after intraluminal hydrolysis by pancreatic alpha-amylase at the surface of the mucosal membrane in close relationship between disaccharide hydrolyses and the glucalogue carrier system.
