Project Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the global demand for high-quality protein sources. Maintaining the health and productivity of poultry is essential for sustainable production. Probiotics have emerged as a promising natural solution to enhance gut health in poultry, thereby improving overall performance and mitigating the use of antibiotics. This research project aims to explore the effects of probiotics on gut health in poultry production. The study begins with a comprehensive literature review to examine the existing knowledge on probiotics and their role in poultry nutrition. Various studies have highlighted the benefits of probiotics in modulating the gut microbiota, promoting nutrient absorption, and enhancing immune function in poultry species. The literature review also discusses the mechanisms through which probiotics exert their beneficial effects on gut health in poultry. Following the literature review, the research methodology section outlines the experimental design and procedures employed to investigate the effects of probiotics on gut health in poultry. The methodology includes details on sample collection, probiotic supplementation protocols, gut health assessments, and data analysis procedures. The study aims to provide empirical evidence on the impact of probiotics on gut health parameters such as gut microbial composition, intestinal morphology, and immune responses in poultry. The discussion of findings section presents the results of the research, highlighting the effects of probiotics on gut health in poultry production. The findings demonstrate that probiotic supplementation positively influences gut microbial diversity, enhances nutrient utilization, and boosts the immune system in poultry species. These effects contribute to improved growth performance, feed efficiency, and disease resistance in probiotic-treated poultry compared to control groups. In conclusion, the research project underscores the significance of probiotics as a natural approach to promoting gut health and enhancing overall performance in poultry production. The study findings support the use of probiotics as a sustainable alternative to antibiotics in poultry nutrition, with potential benefits for both animal health and food safety. The insights gained from this research contribute to advancing knowledge in the field of animal science and provide valuable information for poultry producers and industry stakeholders seeking to optimize production practices.
