In-feed Salmonella-specific phages alter the physiology, intestinal histomorphology, and carcass and meat quality parameters in broiler chickens

In-feed Salmonella-specific phages alter the physiology, intestinal histomorphology, and carcass and meat quality parameters in broiler chickens

The use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in broiler production leads to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. To mitigate this challenge, biocontrol agents such as phages are being investigated as sustainable alternatives to AGP in commercial broiler production systems. This...
