Optimizing Poultry Nutrition to Combat Salmonella: Insights from the Literature

Muhammad Naeem et al. Microorganisms. .

Abstract

Salmonella infections in poultry production are a significant and pervasive concern, posing substantial risks to both animal and human health. This comprehensive literature review examines the current body of research on the use of various nutritional manipulations as a promising strategy to effectively control and mitigate the prevalence of Salmonella in poultry. The review covers a range of dietary interventions, particularly the utilization of probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and phytochemicals, and thoroughly evaluates their efficacy in reducing Salmonella colonization within poultry flocks. Furthermore, the review delves into the potential underlying mechanisms of action for these nutritional approaches to control Salmonella and the far-reaching implications for overall food safety. By providing a thorough analysis of the existing literature, this review aims to elucidate the most promising nutritional strategies that can be employed to control Salmonella in poultry production, ultimately safeguarding animal welfare and public health.

Keywords: Salmonella; essential oils; organic acids; poultry; prebiotics; probiotics.
