Wholesome Poultry for Healthier Living
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction Free antibiotic poultry represents a new standard in poultry farming—one in which birds are raised from dayold chicks to market weight without the routine use of any antibiotics. Driven by growing awareness of antimicrobial resistance and consumer demand for cleaner, healthier protein, this approach prioritizes natural disease prevention and holistic bird management. Through stringent biosecurity measures, targeted vaccination programs, and the inclusion of probiotics, prebiotics, and herbal supplements in feed, farmers can maintain flock health without resorting to antibiotics. Over usage of antibiotics has led to severe side effects such as antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria, harming the beneficial bacteria in the gut, and stacking up of residuals in animal food products.
