Antibiotics were over the years, the common supplement used for poultry production. There is a global trend to lessen antibiotics' use due to the contamination of consumed meat with antibiotic residues. Also, there is a concern that human treatments might be jeopardized due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Prebiotics are attractive supplements, particularly in poultry production, because of the diversity of their effects, including pH amendments, production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and the inhibition of pathogens' growth. The commonly used prebiotics are carbohydrate sources that cannot be easily broken down by chickens. However, they can efficiently be utilized by the intestinal tract's microflora. Oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and lactose are non-digestible carbohydrate sources that are typically used in poultry diets as prebiotics. This review covers current applications and prospects for using prebiotics to improve poultry performance and reduce pathogens, particularly , in gastrointestinal tract.
多年来，抗生素一直是家禽生产中常用的补充物。由于食用肉中含有抗生素残留，全球范围内正在减少抗生素的使用。此外，人们担心由于出现抗药性细菌，人类的治疗可能会受到威胁。由于其效果多样化，包括 pH 值的修正、短链脂肪酸 (SCFA) 的产生和病原体生长的抑制，因此，益生元作为一种有吸引力的补充物，特别是在家禽生产中，具有吸引力。常用的益生元是不能被鸡轻易分解的碳水化合物来源，但它们可以被肠道微生物有效地利用。低聚糖、多糖和乳糖是不可消化的碳水化合物来源，通常作为益生元用于家禽饲料中。本综述涵盖了益生元在改善家禽生产性能和减少病原体方面的当前应用和前景，特别是在胃肠道中。
