Progress on Gut Health Maintenance and Antibiotic Alternatives in Broiler Chicken Production

The perturbation of gut health is a common yet unresolved problem in broiler chicken production. Antibiotics used as growth promoters have remarkably improved the broiler production industry with high feed conversion efficiency and reduced intestinal problems. However, the misuse of antibiotics has...
