Abstract

Probiont has gained a lot of interest in the last few decades as a way to enhance growth and disease resistance in cultured animals including terrestrial and aquatic organisms. This approach is considered as the best method to replace the indiscriminative use of antibiotics, which are previously criticized due to safety and environmental issues. Unlike antibiotics, probionts is an eco-friendly way to enhance growth rate and improve hosts’ immune systems. There are several common mechanisms how probiotic strains are contributing to their hosts, including: (1) the synthesis of digestive enzymes which participates in digestion processes; (2) the modification of intestinal environment and gut epithelial cells which allow better solubility and absorption of nutrients, (3) stimulating the expression of two genes involved in growth (Insulin-Like Growth Factor, IGF-I and Growth Hormone, GH), (4) improving stress tolerance, (5) producing antimicrobial compounds active against pathogens (6) outcompeting pathogens for chemical and adhesion sites, and (7) stimulating or developing the host’s immune systems. The application of probionts has a long story, especially in terrestrial organisms. Thereafter, the successfulness of probiotic application in the terrestrials has triggered the use of probionts in aquaculture species. This review aimed at giving an outline about the current status of probiotic applications in cultured animals (poultry and aquaculture industries).
