The rst goal of the livestock production is the delivery of safe
foods for human consumption taking into account the welfare of the
animal and respect for the environment. The poultry industry has
become an important economic activity in many countries. In
large-scale rearing facilities, where poultry are exposed to
stressful conditions, problems related to diseases and
deterioration of environmental conditions often occur and result in
serious economic losses. Prevention and control of diseases have
led during recent decades to a substantial increase in the use of
veterinary medicines. However, the utility of antimicrobial agents
as a preventive measure has been questioned, given extensive
documentation of the evolution of antimicrobial resistance among
pathogenic bacteria. So, the possibility of antibiotics ceasing to
be used as growth stimulants for poultry and the concern about the
side-effects of their use as therapeutic agents has produced a
climate in which both consumer and manufacturer are looking for
alternatives. Probiotics are being considered to fill this gap and
already some farmers are using them in preference to antibiotics.
