In recent years, the use of probiotics has emerged as a sustainable and scientifically supported strategy to enhance poultry gut health and performance, particularly in the context of reducing antibiotic use. Probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host.
In poultry, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is central to nutrient absorption, immunity, and disease resistance, making gut health a critical area of focus. Among various probiotic candidates, spore-forming Bacillus subtilis strains, like DSM 29784 (commercially known as Alterion®, named “Bs29784”), stand out for their stability, consistent performance, and multiple mechanisms of action. Bs29784 has been shown to improve gut microbial balance, maintain intestinal barrier integrity, regulate immune responses, and effectively germinate in vivo to exert its beneficial effects.
