Antibiotic-Producing Bacteria as a Possible Defence of Birds against Pathogenic Microorganisms (2010, background): “, included in the diet of chickens is quite similar to those produced by antibiotics [25, 26], suggesting that both treatments eliminate detrimental bacterial strains and/or enhance proliferation of mutualistic strains with antibiotic production capacity.”

Alternatives to antibiotics for maximizing growth performance and feed efficiency in poultry: a review (2017, background): “Supplementation of diets with a single strain of Lactobacillus sp. ( L. casei, L. fermentum, L. bulgaricus, L. reuteri ) was shown to improve the body weight and feed ef ﬁ ciency in broilers (Yeo and Kim, 1997; Khan et al. , 2007; Apata, 2008; Nakphaichit et al ., 2011; Salim et al ., 2013).”
THE ROLE OF PROBIOTICS IN THE POULTRY INDUSTRY (2009, background): “This result is in agreement with many investigators [7-9,11-25] who demonstrated increased live weight gain in probiotic fed birds.”
