This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
antibiotics in poultry production. The first chapter places the use
of antibiotics in poultry production in its historical context to
understand the benefits that antibiotics have conferred on animal
production to date. It considers past, present and future use of
antibiotics, focusing on the use of bacteriocins and
phytochemicals. The second chapter considers the benefits and
repercussions of the use of antibiotics in poultry production. It
details the emergence of antibiotic resistance, as well as the
potential risks to public health and sustainable farming associated
with antibiotic use. The third chapter reviews the identification
and use of prebiotics as a control measure against contamination of
poultry products. The chapter covers both traditional prebiotic
compounds such as fructooligosaccharides, and less conventional
sources such as guar gum. The final chapter presents the background
and current use of Competitive Exclusion (CE) as a preventative
measure against Salmonella infections in poultry, by administration
ofcultures of intestinal origin to day-old chickens.
