Safety assessment of antibiotic and probiotic feed additives for Gallus gallus domesticus
Abstract Antibiotics in feed select for resistant strains and is thus a threat to human health. In this study, the effect of a multi-strain probiotic and antibiotics on the growth and health of broilers was studied. Equal numbers of broilers received on a daily basis either a multi-strain probiotic...
