Abstract: The most affordable source of animal protein is poultry, which helps fulfill the world's increasing demand for animal food products. With the increase in global population, likewise, trading and consuming poultry products do. Antibiotic resistance develops as a result of antibiotic additives to feed used as growth promoters in chicken production, and their residual effects on animal-derived food provide a number of health risks to consumers. These issues are solved by adding probiotics and prebiotics to their feeds. Therefore, the applications of probiotics to poultry feed aim to give the chicken the benefits of beneficial microbes while also replacing those that are absent from the gastrointestinal tract. The prebiotics amplify probiotic growth and activity in poultry GIT. Prebiotics supply carbon and energy for native bacteria, which the colon already contains, the energy and carbon they need to flourish in the digestive tract. Probiotics have been linked to numerous health benefits, including enhanced immune function, altered gut flora, and improved mineral absorption. Certain proteins, peptides, and lipids, as well as indigestible carbohydrates, are the prebiotic ingredients included in poultry feed. Probiotics inhibit infections through a variety of mechanisms, including competitive exclusion and host immune system modification. Prebiotics are indigestible feed elements that alter the metabolism and makeup of the gut microbiota in a way that is advantageous to the host.
