The increasing demand for sustainable and efficient chicken production has intensified the interest in functional feed additives such as probiotics. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly known as Lactobacillus plantarum) is an important probiotic bacterium that has become an essential component in poultry nutrition owing to its diverse advantages. This bacterium improves gut health by regulating the intestinal microbiota, increasing food absorption, and strengthening the immune system. It also alleviates the detrimental impacts of pathogenic bacteria, thereby reducing the reliance on antibiotics and promoting antibiotic-free poultry production. Additionally, Lactobacillus plantarum enhances growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, and total flock productivity. Adding Lactobacillus plantarum to chicken feed helps the gut microbiota by encouraging good bacterial communities (e.g., Eubacterium, Faecalibacterium, Ligilactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus, Blautia and Clostridium). This leads to increased growth in chickens and helps maintain the balance of their gut flora. Lactobacillus plantarum has been extensively investigated as a potential feed additive to replace in-feed antibiotics. Published literature have revealed that a dietary additive of Lactobacillus plantarum improved the health and growth of broilers by improving the balance of bacteria and the metabolism of nutrients in the gut. This study explores the incorporation of Lactobacillus plantarum into poultry diets and its importance in sustainable and healthy poultry production. This study will encourage poultry scientists to investigate further before encapsulation. Innovations in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, including its intestine colonization methods and novel strategies to improve its colonization, have the potential to transform the industry. Rapid development of tools and techniques (microencapsulated, nanotechnology, metagenomics, and transcriptome for L. plantarum) could help cover research and application shortages.
对可持续和高效鸡肉生产的需求不断增加，这激发了人们对益生菌等功能性饲料添加剂的兴趣。植物乳杆菌（以前称为植物乳杆菌）是一种重要的益生菌，由于其多种优势，已成为家禽营养中的重要组成部分。这种细菌通过调节肠道微生物群、增加食物吸收和增强免疫系统来改善肠道健康。它还减轻了病原菌的有害影响，从而减少了对抗生素的依赖，并促进了无抗家禽生产。此外，植物乳杆菌提高了生长性能、饲料转化效率和整个鸡群的生产力。在鸡饲料中添加植物乳杆菌有助于肠道微生物群，促进良好细菌群落（如真杆菌、粪杆菌、 Ligilactobacillus、Limosilactobacillus、布劳特氏菌和梭菌）的生长。这导致鸡的生长增加，并有助于维持其肠道菌群的平衡。植物乳杆菌作为一种潜在的饲料添加剂来替代饲料中的抗生素已被广泛研究。已发表的文献表明，植物乳杆菌的日粮添加剂通过改善肠道细菌平衡和营养物质代谢，改善了肉鸡的健康和生长。本研究探讨了将植物乳杆菌纳入家禽日粮及其在可持续和健康家禽生产中的重要性。本研究将鼓励家禽科学家在包封之前进行进一步研究。植物乳杆菌的创新，包括其肠道定殖方法和改善其定殖的新策略，有可能改变该行业。工具和技术（植物乳杆菌的微胶囊化、纳米技术、宏基因组学和转录组学）的快速发展有助于弥补研究和应用的不足。
