Levucell SB: live yeast – healthy digestion of broiler chickens

This work is devoted to the use of probiotics in growing broiler chickens and the problem of obtaining poultry products of high biological properties, produced with the minimum use of antibiotic and chemical substances that can harm both the consumer and the environment. World practice shows the gradual rejection of feed antibiotics. The ban on the use of feed antibiotics does not lose its relevance in Russia. This is due to both the growth in demand for livestock products obtained without the use of antibiotics, and the tightening of veterinary and sanitary rules. Obtaining such products includes a set of measures, which includes the use of natural feed additives that optimize the functioning of the digestive tract and allow reducing or avoiding the use of antimicrobial agents. The role of intestinal microflora for maintaining the normal functioning of the intestine, performing a number of important physiological functions is presented, it is shown what parameters when growing broiler chickens affect the composition of the microflora of the digestive system, and what contributes to the spread of intestinal infections in poultry farms. The characteristics of the probiotic are given and the mechanism of action and biological properties of the additive are considered. Issues related to the feasibility of prophylactic and therapeutic use of probiotics in poultry farming, intended to restore and maintain beneficial microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as to control pathogenic microflora, are considered
