Bacteriophage Growth Promoters in Poultry

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in bacterial resistance to antimicrobials found in both animals and humans, and in some countries, the use of antibiotics as growth promoters has been prohibited. Therefore, this article reviewed bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) as a substitute for antibiotic-type growth promoters, since they can help control the main bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli that affect birds, improve production parameters in broilers and laying hens, and are more efficient than antibiotic-type growth promoters.


Keywords:   bacteriophages, promoter’s growth, antibiotics, poultry.


RESUMEN


En los últimos años, la resistencia bacteriana a los antimicrobianos encontrada tanto en animales como en humanos y la prohibición del uso de antibióticos como promotores de crecimiento en algunos países son las nuevas variables a tener en cuenta. Por lo tanto, este artículo revisa los bacteriófagos (virus que infectan bacterias) como sustituto de promotores de crecimiento tipo antibiótico, ya que pueden ayudar a controlar los principales patógenos bacterianos como Salmonella y E. coli que afectan a las aves, mejoran los parámetros productivos en broilers y gallinas de postura y son más eficientes que los promotores de crecimiento tipo antibiótico.


Palabras clave: bacteriófagos, promotores de crecimiento, antibióticos, avicultura.
