IMPORTANCE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN BIRDS.
- Impact on chicken growth, digestive tract and immune systems
The poultry industry uses antibiotics to improve meat production through increased feed conversion, growth rate promotion and disease prevention. - Impact on consumer health and the environment
In addition to bio-resistance, antibiotics abuse has resulted in drug residues in animal products (Gonzalez Ronquillo and Angeles Hernandez, 2017) - Impact on meat quality and eggs
Campylobacter is a major cause of food-borne diarrheal diseases in humans. Campylobacter infections can be severe or fatal in immunocompromised or elderly people and very young children. - Use of antibiotics in broiler chicken production
Over the past 50 years, the use of antibiotics combined with strict biosecurity and hygiene measures has helped the poultry industry to grow by preventing the negative impacts of many avian diseases (Bermudez, 2003). Even as biosecurity may be sufficient, vaccination can also be used as an additional measure.
