Abstract

Antibiotics have been traditionally supplemented in livestock diets as growth-Promoters. However, former studies have shown that in some cases, the use of antibiotics as Growth-Promoters potentially leads to pathogen resistance. Therefore, many researchers have suggested alternatives for these additives to minimize these negative effects. In the present study, by reviewing the most important studies conducted in this field, the introduced alternatives that have been placed by scientific acceptance assemblies have been examined and categorized. According to this review, alternatives such as probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and especially postbiotics have been recommended as the main alternative ration supplements for all types of current growth-promoting antibiotics. In this review, while introducing each of these categories, the main characteristics of each group and their challenges were also stated. Although in some cases, such as post-biotics, due to the lack of sufficient study, detailed and comprehensive information on the structure, mechanism of action, and interaction with other antibiotic alternatives are unknown yet, it has been tried to summarize and use the available information in be at the discretion of the audiences. In the end, according to the international research process, suggestions were made to continue the path to improve the function of the digestive system with the help of antibiotic alternatives.
