Abstract:
A substantial growth in poultry industry has been observed mainly due to exploitation
of various modern growth promoting strategies and appropriate disease preventive
and control measures. The present review describes the various essential growth
promoters and novel feed supplements, their salient features, classical examples,
bioactive principles, pharmacological and modes of action and useful applications
for improving poultry production and health. It highlights antibiotics, probiotics,
prebiotics, synbiotics, organic acids, vitamins and minerals, oils, enzymes,
amino acids, betaine, carnitine, L-arginine, ractopamine, nucleotides, electrolytes,
herbs, panchgavya elements. Apart from boosting poultry production and safeguarding
general health of birds some of these have been found to possess beneficial
immunomodulatory and stress relieving properties and also have added advantages
to help produce lean meat and designer poultry products taking into account
health awareness and preferences of the consumers. It is a comprehensive and
an updated review compilation focusing the salient aspects of various important
growth promoters and feed additives having potential applications to promote
poultry production and health. Due care has been taken to cover the ongoing
trends and recent advances with a perspective vision and their holistic usages
and beneficial applications in poultry production system. The contents of the
review will be highly useful for researchers, scientists, pharmacists, veterinary
professionals, pharmaceutical industries, poultry producers/owners and poultry
industry as well as for perspective applications in livestock industry. It would
enrich the knowledge of researchers and help the scientific community to conduct
more research on such daily essential requirements for boosting poultry production
in a better way. It will also shed light regarding the management and production
aspects of poultry especially broilers which will enlighten farmers and poultry
producers for better economic growth.
